Although in some places the highest level of warning was issued and new record values are expected on Thursday, there is a glance at the temperature archive shows: there were already heaths in July starts.
In historical comparison, however, there were even higher temperatures at the moment. “In principle, we are currently not experiencing anything that has not yet existed. It could be one of the hottest start of July in measuring history, but we can’t get the top values,” said air conditioner Alexander Orlik from Geosphere on Thursday.
Friday will follow considerable cooling
The temperatures must rise to 37 degrees in Carinthia on Thursday. Similar values are to be expected in the east, depending on the cloudy. A significant cooling of up to ten degrees and temperatures around 27 degrees can be expected on Friday, as the geosphere reported.
In earlier times there were much hotter waves at the start of the holidays: 39.4 degrees were measured in Horn in Lower Austria on July 5, 1957. 39.3 degrees were registered on July 5, 1950 in the Styrian Leibnitz and in the lower Austrian Waidhofen an der Ybbs. On the same day, the thermometer in Andau in Burgenland showed 39.0 degrees.
July started in Krems in Lower Austria in 2019 with 38.8 degrees – on the same day it was 38.6 degrees in Stockerau and Langenlebarn. As much as on July 5, 1950 in Deutschkeutz. In general, summer in 1950, 1957, 2012 and 2019 were particularly hot.
But don’t fully compare each other
According to the evaluation of the geosphere, there were 29 values and more than 38 degrees in the period from 27 June to 5 July in the history of the country. Orlik pointed out that it should be calculated that the weather huts were not yet forced in the 1950s. In the meantime, the stations have long been conditioned to the air for a long time. “If no wind has disappeared and the air in it, the stations could get a little overheated,” said Orlik. This takes into account the long -term considerations of climate change, but not for individual measured values.
