Changeable Weekend in Austria: Showers and Thunderstorms, Only Sunny at Times in the South

Where It Remains the Most Pleasant

On Sunday, thick clouds pass through especially from Salzburg to Burgenland. Isolated rain showers are already possible in the morning, but the risk of thunderstorms increases significantly in the afternoon. Especially in the Salzkammergut region, the thunderstorms can be heavy and accompanied by intense downpours.

Especially in the mountainous regions and in the vicinity of heavy thunderstorms, gusty winds are possible. In addition, the wind freshens noticeably in many regions, and the westerly wind remains perceptible in many areas. With a brisk west to northwesterly wind, it clears up in between, but a lasting calming of the weather is not in sight for the time being.

Wind and Thunderstorms as Accompanying Factors

Temperatures remain summery at 20 to 30 degrees, but no longer reach the extreme values of the past days. This means the weather is warm and summery, but changeable and only conditionally suitable for outings.

The weather situation also remains tense on Sunday night. Monday starts widely overcast, with rain showers and partly thundery showers expected again. At the start of the week, the changeable weather continues, and according to current forecasts, no thorough improvement is in sight.

Outlook for the Start of the Week

The risk of thunderstorms affects several regions simultaneously: While in the west and south, showers increase during the course of the day, dense cloud fields persist in the east – from Salzburg to Burgenland. Those spending time outdoors should keep an eye on the sky.

Weather warnings concern especially the mountainous regions as well as thunderstorm cells with intense downpours. Locally, under the heaviest showers, larger amounts of rain can come together in a short time, increasing the risk of localized flooding and slippery roads.

Tips for Outdoors

Overall, the weather in Austria remains changeable: Sun, clouds, showers and thunderstorms alternate throughout the day. Current forecasts do not show a lasting calming of the weather at the start of the new week.
