The early summer temperatures are still a long time coming. A strong cold front reached Austria on Tuesday night, including fresh snow at low altitudes. This means that there is now a threat of snow in some places.
A hood and jacket may be popular again on Tuesday in particular, as weather experts expect a thick blanket of snow of up to 30 centimeters. This can also result in the risk of snow breakage: the load of snow on trees becomes so great that branches or entire tree crowns break under the weight.
Traffic experts also advise motorists to leave their winter tires on for a little longer. Because the winter morning conditions can cause some snow chaos on Austrian roads.
Winter temperatures
The snowfall limit on Tuesday is 500 to 700 meters and temperatures in the south of Austria are at most between two and eleven degrees. Only the West was spared from the late winter conditions.
Heavy snowfall in Salzburg and Upper Austria
More snow has fallen in some states in recent days. For example, the winter conditions in Salzburg caused numerous accidents and incidents on the roads. Some places in Upper Austria were also covered with a continuous layer of snow.
It’s getting warmer again
The rapid drop in temperatures across Austria could also cause heavy snowfall in the coming days. Only during the weekend will temperatures rise noticeably again, reaching 19 degrees in the east.
