Weather change ensures cooler spring - forest fire is increasing!
Weather change ensures cooler spring - forest fire is increasing!
A drastic change in weather is imminent, and Austria is preparing for changes! Gerhard Hohenwarter, meteorologist at "Geosphere Austria", announced that the current mild spring experience will last until the weekend. On Sunday, only a little Sahara dust could affect the blue sky before a stormy wave of weather arrives from the Atlantic at the beginning of the week. This wave not only brings cooling, but also the first significant precipitation of the year, which are expected, especially in southern and extreme western Austria, on Monday and Tuesday.
Overall, the currently too warm temperatures after the weekend should drop back to normal levels. However, it remains rather dry, especially in the north and east of the country. The urgent question is: how strong will the cooling be? Although rain is urgently needed in these regions, the residents have to expect dryness. The expert emphasized that the weather conditions are volatile and that the exact amounts of precipitation remain uncertain, but the forecast for the south indicates "quite strong" precipitation, which are urgently needed for nature.
increased risk of forest fire
In view of the dry conditions in the east and north of Austria, the risk of forest fires is a serious problem. According to reports from kaernten.orf.at, the combination of persistent drought and the upcoming weather conditions could prepare additional challenges to the fire brigade authorities. A careful observation of weather development is therefore essential in order to be prepared against possible disasters in good time. The uncertain weather forecasts increase urgency to pay attention to local developments and to take corresponding measures.| Details | |
