The high temperatures and resulting high humidity led to thunderstorms Thursday, some of which were intense, especially in the south and east of the country. In the early afternoon there were severe thunderstorms, especially in western Styria, and hailstorms fell in Carinthia. Trees fell on the A2.
The first stronger hailstorms were in Wolfsberg, Krone readers reported. Thunderstorms also raged on the southern highway (A2): branches and fallen trees lay on the road.

In Styria, the storm was particularly problematic. Wind peaks of up to 100 km/h were measured in the Neumarkt area! According to ZAMG meteorologist Michael Tiefengraber, the situation should calm down in the afternoon, but more storms could come later. The focus is south of the Mur-Mürz furrow. “Hail and precipitation are not that extreme. But it is feared that the storm will cause damage,” said Tiefengraber.
Austria expects midsummer weather in the coming days. According to the prediction of the Central Institute of Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG), it will get hot first – and then even hotter.
