All weather services predict severe thunderstorms throughout Carinthia for Friday afternoon. Heavy precipitation fell in Upper Carinthia on Friday afternoon. The fire brigade had to come out.
The start of the weekend will be awkward. Because all of Carinthia would be hit by severe storms. “Heavy rain, hail and wind gusts are to be expected,” warns Ubimet meteorologist Christoph Mattela in an interview with “Krone”.

While the first thunderstorm cells erupted in Upper Carinthia on Friday afternoon, Lower Carinthia – especially the southern part of Carinthia – was hit in the afternoon. This not only causes a gloomy mood among farmers, the emergency services are also alert. “So far we have registered more than 30 operations,” says the national alarm and warning center. And according to the predictions of the meteorologists, it could still happen.
flood and hailstorm
In Spittal an der Drau, even the station forecourt was flooded over a large area, according to a reader of “Krone”. Heavy hailstorms fell in Seeboden. But Lower Carinthia was not spared either. Especially on the Völkermarkt it rained heavily in the afternoon and several vehicles were severely damaged!
“An easing is not expected until evening,” says Matella.
