Fog showers and sun: This is how the turn of the year will be in Austria!

The year 2024 says goodbye in Austria with an interesting, albeit challenging weather. While in the flat countries there is a dense fog area on December 31, people in higher altitudes and in the south enjoy bright sunshine, such as meinbezirk.at . This leads to a contrasting year: In the Danube Regions, the eastern lowlands and the southeast, it is expected that the fog is reinforced on New Year's Eve, especially by the fireworks, which is referred to as fireworks fog. This fog could not only affect the view of the spectacular Sylvester fireworks, but also lead to increased fine dust pollution.

weather changes and temperatures

The meteorologists warn that the floors and high fog fields will spread and condensed on the New Year's night, while in other areas the sky remains clear. The temperatures fluctuate between minus 13 and plus 12 degrees, depending on the weather conditions and the respective altitude. A stable high pressure is also visible for the first New Years, but by the middle of the week a cold front is approaching, which could bring a drastic change in weather, as can be read in the forecasts of bergfex.at . There it is pointed out that the wind blows weak to moderate and especially in the higher locations the sun is shining.

These weather conditions are also noticeable in the next few days, especially in the lowlands that are already shaped by fog. In some areas, even slight snow or rainfalls are possible, while in higher altitudes the sun shines through. The temperatures are still expected low, which for many is a cool but still a nice beginning of the year.
