The weather in parts of Austria is taking a significant step towards winter in the coming days - and then another turnaround: In the Northern Alps, it will be quite wintry from Salzburg eastwards on Friday, predicts Geosphere Austria. However, calm late autumn weather returns everywhere over the weekend.

Sun vs. Rain: Austria Divided on Friday

In the west and south, a high-pressure area ensures dry and very sunny weather on Friday. The rest of the country is heavily clouded and it rains at least occasionally. In the eastern mountainous region, it rains and snows almost all day. The snow line is between 500 and 700 meters above sea level. The wind blows moderately to briskly in the north and east, and weakly from west to north in other regions. The early temperatures are between minus five degrees in the west and plus five degrees in the east. The maximum daytime temperatures reach three to nine degrees.

Temperatures Remain Below 10 Degrees Over the Weekend

In the east and north of Austria, residual clouds from the disturbance persist on Saturday. Otherwise, it is often sunny all day under the influence of high pressure. The wind blows weakly to moderately from north to east. The early temperatures are between minus eight and plus three degrees, the maximum daytime values between two and nine degrees.

Apart from fog or high fog over the lowlands and medium-high cloud fields in the southeast of the country, Sunday is predominantly sunny. The wind mostly blows weakly to moderately, preferably from eastern to southern directions, with early temperatures from minus seven to plus one and maximum daytime temperatures of mostly two to eight degrees.

Mostly Sunny Start to the New Week

In some areas, stubborn fog and high fog fields can be expected at the beginning of the week, especially over the Waldviertel and Weinviertel, the greater Vienna area and in the southeast of Austria. Otherwise, the sunny weather character predominates on Monday. In the course of the afternoon, more and more clouds cover the sky in the west and northwest. The near-surface wind field is consistently weak. The early temperatures will be between minus six and plus three degrees, the maximum daytime temperatures depending on the duration of sunshine about two to eleven degrees.

Disturbance influence from the west causes increasing cloudiness during the day on Tuesday and at least regionally upcoming precipitation. Initially, there are also some fog and high fog fields. Clearings are only now and then, in many places it is likely to remain cloudy all day. The snow line moves during the day mostly between 1,000 and 1,400 meters above sea level, before it drops below 1,000 meters in places in the evening. The early temperatures are mostly around minus five to plus four degrees, the maximum daytime temperatures at two to eight degrees.
