25 degrees is considered the meteorological-climatological limit for a “summer day”. It remains to be seen whether, as expected, the first and earliest hot day in Austria will actually take place these days.
In any case, the Vienna Mariabrunn measuring station recorded a summery 26.6 degrees from 2 p.m., as can be seen on the Geosphere Austria website. Salzburg Freisaal reached 25.5 degrees, the station at Salzburg Airport reached 24.8 degrees, and the St. Pölten measuring point already reached 25.2. The measuring point at Graz University/Heinrichstrasse initially reached 25.7 degrees. Linz wasn’t much behind at 24.6 degrees, just ahead of Vienna Hohe Warte at 24.8 degrees. For Eisenstadt the temperature was 24.2 degrees.

The earliest hot day with 30 degrees in a calendar year in Austria is absolutely possible in the coming days. The Geosphere had forecast unusually high temperatures during the day for the weekend and Monday; in some cases even 30 degrees were possible, especially on Sunday and Monday, it was said. A hot day on Sunday would be ten days earlier than the previous record: the first “30” occurred on April 17, 1934 in the city of Salzburg. The second earliest date for a hot day was April 20, 2018, also in the city of Salzburg. The highest temperatures measured in April are around 30 degrees in all federal states and almost all come from the end of the month.
A lot of sun and only high veiled clouds were expected for Saturday afternoon, according to information from the Geosphere homepage. The afternoon temperatures are likely to reach 23 to almost 29 degrees.
Record values also in Germany
In parts of Switzerland, the summer mark of 25 degrees was already broken at midday. According to Meteoschweiz, 26.1 degrees Celsius were measured in Basel-Binningen, the Keystone-SDA news agency reported. The SRF Meteo website even showed 28 degrees for Basel. 24.5 degrees were also measured in Munich on Saturday afternoon, and in Hilpoltstein in Upper Franconia it was 25.5 degrees, as the German Weather Service (DWD) reported. The DWD expects temperatures of up to 30 degrees over the weekend. In the first third of April it had never been so warm since records began.
The head of the Munich Regional Weather Advisory Service, Guido-Peter Wolz, had previously spoken of a real “temperature explosion”. According to the DWD, high “Olli” and storm low “Timea” are responsible for the unusually warm weather. According to meteorologists, both pump subtropical warm air from the southwest towards Germany. According to meteorologists, one factor is that the Atlantic Ocean is too warm. Added to this is the expected sunny weather. The extreme temperatures cannot therefore be explained solely by climate change, reported the German Press Agency (dpa).
