The flood situation in Tyrol continues to deteriorate: although rain caused the level of the Inn to rise again on Sunday night, the value of a 30-year flood – as previously feared – was far from being reached this time. The weather is now expected to calm down, and the cooling on the mountain is also helping to defuse the situation.
Melting water and heavy thunderstorms including showers have been causing a tense flooding situation in Tyrol since Friday evening. The 30-year flood mark (HW30) was reached along the Inn on Saturday night. The fire brigade had to handle 88 missions.
While water levels fell again during the day on Saturday – partly due to the improvement in the weather – heavy rain started again in large parts of the country in the evening. It was feared in advance that HW30 would be reached or exceeded again on Sunday night. Although levels rose, they ultimately remained well below this value at the Inn, as seen on the state’s Hydro-Online website.
The weather provides relaxation
Levels are now falling again: rain has decreased and lower temperatures on the mountain are also leading to less snowmelt.
What now about the weather? After Sunday started cloudy and wet in Tyrol, it should become mainly dry around the Inn Valley and north of it during the day, according to GeoSphere Austria. “Towards the evening the clouds slowly disappear from the border area with Bavaria. In the areas around the main ridge – the rear Ötz and Zillertal – and also in East Tyrol, the chance of rain is higher later, although the amount of rain is likely to be quite small,” the report said. It remains relatively cool with maximum temperatures around 20 degrees.
Weather improvement at the start of the week
It should also be largely dry on Monday night. The weather will improve early next week. “Morning fog banks will disappear in the morning, the rest of the day should be sunny and summery warm,” says GeoSphere Austria.
