The heat wave in the country continues! After the earliest 30 degree day in Austrian measurement history was measured on Sunday, there were unusually high temperatures again on Monday. In Waidhofen an der Ybbs in Lower Austria, almost 30 degrees were measured during lunch!
An extremely mild southerly current and foehn will cause high temperatures in Austria at the beginning of this week. Unusual for the time of year, values remained ten to fifteen degrees above those of a typical early April.
The temperature reached 25 degrees at approximately 50 weather stations
As early as 12:30 p.m., some weather stations were close to 30 degrees, Geosphere Austria announced on Monday. In Waidhofen an der Ybbs in Lower Austria, 29.3 degrees were measured. In Weyer in Upper Austria it was 28.3 degrees shortly after noon and in Feldkirch in Vorarlberg it was 28.0 degrees. Moreover, it was already more than 25 degrees at about 50 of the Geosphere’s nearly 280 weather stations.
Highest values usually in the afternoon/evening
For comparison: in an average year, the 25 degree limit is reached for the first time in Austria in mid-April. The highest values of the day are expected between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Due to global warming, very warm weather conditions are becoming increasingly common early in the year.
A year ago there was still snow in Vienna
The extreme temperatures also cause irritation in the federal capital. As the Austrian Severe Weather Center (uwz) shows in a post on the “X” platform, snow even fell around Vienna last year. It even turned white around the city! “The differences can hardly be much greater,” according to the meteorologists.
