In any case, at the beginning of the week the sun often shines without clouds. In the extreme north of the Oberen Mühlviertel and Waldviertel up to the Weinviertel, the chance of thunderstorms is low. It remains warm throughout the country, with 29 to 35 degrees.
Continuous sunshine across the country

Midweek can get a little choppy
Wednesday will be more cloudy than the previous days. From the Innviertel to the north of Burgenland there will also be some showers from the morning. In the afternoon it is somewhat unstable and there will be thunderstorms. In general, only a few, but quite severe thunderstorms are to be expected. But don’t worry: the high temperatures remain high. 28 to 34 degrees are expected.

Already in the morning on Thursday, the sun occasionally breaks through the country. In the eastern lowlands and in the southern basins, on the northern side of the Alps and generally in the mountains it will often be sunny, but the chance of rain and thunderstorms will soon increase again. Locally, gusts of wind, hail and large amounts of rain are expected. With 28 to 34 degrees it remains warm and extremely humid.

The heat in the southeast is likely to be over by Sunday at the latest.
