Unlike their name, the IJssaints are not so icy: as an evaluation of the values of the past decades of GeoSphere Austria, there is usually no burglaries in the cold air in the days of 12 to 15 May. Nevertheless, it makes sense to only place sensitive plants in the free after the IJssaints.
The Ice Saints are among the most famous farming rules and can be found in numerous statements, usually in connection with prince. For example: “Pancrazi, Servazi, Bonifazi are three icy bazi. And in the end the cold Sophie never misses.” But are Frost Nights actually typical of the time of the Ice Saints? “The details of the past show about 80 years for different regions: Frost does not occur on the date of the IJssint, from 12 to 15 May,” said Alexander Orlik, climateologist in Geosphere Austria.
Soil frost that is most common at the beginning of May
Nevertheless, it is logical to only place or plant sensitive plants outside after the IJssaints. “Because the risk on ground prince is most common in the first May third, in the second May third-on the moment of the ice flakes less often,” Orlik explains. In the last May third, soil frost in the inhabited regions of Austria rarely or not at all. In general, the chance of frost even decreased in May due to the warming of the climate heating of the past decades.
Floor frost only every five years
Soil frost In May is quite rare in Austria. In the recent past (climate adjustment 1991 to 2020) there was a day with floor frost in Vienna and Salzburg on average every five years, in Feldkirch and Klagenfurt every two to three years in Innsbruck every one to two years. In the last Mai third, on the other hand, a day with Ground Frost in Klagenfurt on average every five years and in Innsbruck every three to four years. In Vienna, Salzburg and Feldkirch, the chance of soil frost in the last May is almost zero.
The weather trend for the current week:
In May, soil frost is slightly more common in higher valleys. For example, in Lienz in Tyrol (661 meters above sea level) and Irdning in Styria (697 meters) there was an average of one to two days with floor frost per year in the first May Third May. In the third May third there was only one day with Ground Frost every two to three years.
Even next week probably only occasional frost
The Ice Saint will not be too cold in the coming week. It remains a bit too cool for May, but in the inhabited regions of Austria there is only incidental prince, such as in places in the Waldviertel, in the Mühlviertel and in some alpine valleys.
