At least 29.0 degrees were exceeded at a total of eight weather stations, the highest measuring point was Landeck in Tyrol at 796 meters above sea level, according to the measured values as of 5:00 p.m. The cold pole was located at Sonnblick at 3,109 meters above sea level in Salzburg, where 4.0 degrees plus were measured.
The temperature mark of 30 degrees is being reached earlier and earlier in Austria. In the meantime, the first 30s are measured on average a week and a half earlier than a few decades ago, as an evaluation by the ZAMG showed.
The mid-May date is in line with the average for recent years, but around 40 years ago that would have been an earlier date. “In the period 1961 to 1990, the 30-degree mark was reached on May 30 on average, with a typical range of around mid-May to mid-June,” said ZAMG meteorologist Alexander Orlik.
