Weather Remains Sunny and Mild at the End of the Year
The end of the year brings Austrians sun and gradually milder temperatures. According to the forecast of Geosphere Austria, it is expected to reach up to ten degrees on New Year's Eve, and even up to twelve degrees on the coming Sunday. However, it usually remains cold - or rather icy - in the morning.
Year-End Brings Sun and Milder Temperatures
The details: On Friday, there are initially isolated patches of fog, especially in the western Danube valley. However, these quickly dissipate during the morning. Thus, the sun often shines from an almost cloudless sky. The wind is mostly light from northwest to east. In the morning, temperatures range from minus twelve to zero degrees, with up to minus 18 degrees possible in the Alpine region. By the afternoon, temperatures rise to between minus four and plus eight degrees, with the mildest conditions in mid-altitude areas.
On Saturday, a few patches of fog linger until the morning, especially along and north of the Danube and in basin locations. Apart from the fog, sunshine prevails, with only harmless thin clouds visible in the sky. The wind blows lightly from variable directions. Early temperatures range between minus eleven and minus one degree, with colder conditions in Alpine valleys of up to minus 17 degrees. Afternoon temperatures range between minus three and plus eight degrees, again with the highest values in mid-altitude areas.
Continuously Sunny on New Year's Eve with Up to Ten Degrees Possible
Nothing new on Sunday: Initially, fog and high fog patches linger over the lowlands as well as in valley and basin locations. However, these usually dissipate quickly. Thus, the sun shines widely throughout the day. From minus ten to zero degrees in the morning, temperatures rise depending on the sunshine to between one and twelve degrees, again with the highest values at mid-altitude.
Monday follows a similar pattern: In the north and east, fog and high fog of varying persistence initially linger along the Danube and over the lowlands of the Waldviertel and Weinviertel. However, as the day progresses, the sun increasingly prevails. In the west and south, the sun shines from the start of the day. The wind is mostly light from southeast to west, in the Mostviertel also partly brisk from west to northwest. Early temperatures range from minus ten to plus three degrees, with daytime highs of one to nine degrees.
And New Year's Eve on Tuesday brings no change in weather: Apart from fog and high fog patches of varying persistence in the Danube valley, the Waldviertel, Weinviertel, the Vienna Basin and the eastern lowlands, the day is continuously sunny everywhere else. The wind blows mostly light to moderate from southern to western directions. It is between minus ten and minus one degree in the morning, and between four and ten degrees during the day.
