Mayor warns population
On his Facebook page, Johannes Pressl, mayor of the Lower Austrian municipality of Ardagger (Amstetten district), warned on Sunday of flooding from Monday to Tuesday. The Danube would still be able to withstand the rain on Monday, but it could flood on Tuesday. Landowners, hunters, fishermen and all those affected must prepare for flooding.
Tuesday shows short-term improvement
Things look a little better in the eastern mountains and on the north side of the Alps. As usual, Tuesday will also start with rain in the eastern mountains. Fortunately, this will stop again tomorrow morning. On the north side of the Alps it is briefly sunny – according to Nikolas Zimmermann of the Austrian Severe Weather Center, with a “friendly mix of sun and clouds”. However, above the western and southern mountains the summer atmosphere does not last long and there are more showers. The temperature rises to 19 to 25 degrees.
Wednesday and Thursday still scary – temperatures are rising
The rest of the week doesn’t really look any different. Wednesday and Thursday will be sunny at first, but there will be thunderstorms in the southern and eastern mountains.
Temperatures rise to a maximum of 20 to 26 degrees. The weekend will bring some thunderstorms, but it will still be summery. Temperatures continue to rise.
