The new working week started stormily in eastern Austria. Especially in the Danube region, strong gusts of wind have been tearing at hoods and hoods since the early morning hours, making going to work an effort.
Especially in the urban canyons of Vienna, progress was sometimes difficult due to gusty winds. Caution was also required in parts of Lower Austria in the morning. Red alert was even declared in many regions and parts of Vienna.
The Viennese professional fire brigade had been deployed repeatedly since the night. About twenty missions have been counted so far, but the trend continues to increase. It was especially important to secure loose roof tiles or window shutters, a spokesperson said.
High avalanche danger in Lower Austria
The wind also had consequences for the safety situation in the Ybbstal Alps in Lower Austria. In some places there was a high risk of avalanches. Level 3 of 5 applies above 1,400 meters, according to the warning service. “The dangerous spots are difficult to recognize in poor visibility,” the report said. “Snow avalanches can be caused by the additional strain on a person and can reach moderate sizes.” The risk was expected to decrease again.
Temperatures higher than last year
However, in the Danube area there was no need to freeze; Temperatures were already much higher on Monday morning than on previous days and were expected to reach double figures during the day. According to the weather forecast, up to 10 degrees plus can be expected.
The stormy wind will slowly lose strength by Tuesday at the latest. According to the forecast, the wind will only be moderate to strong. There are only a few strong gusts of wind left.
