White Christmas in Vorarlberg: Snowfall brings winter mood!

White Christmas in Vorarlberg: Snowfall brings winter mood!

The pre -Christmas period in Austria finally brings the longed -for white Christmas! On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, wintry weather is being observed, especially in the northern Alps, especially in Vorarlberg and the Salzkammergut. Strong snowfalls can be expected here that extend to the Mostviertel. In deeper layers under 300 meters, the snow is partially supplemented by rain. While the east of the country, including Vienna, Burgenland and Lower Austria, mostly stays dry, the view of the sun remains rather modest there, as reported. A strong to stormy northwest wind makes the temperatures between -1 and +4 degrees Celsius appear frosty, whereby not much will change on this cool weather up to New Year's Eve.

Further weather course over the holidays

on Christmas Day, December 25th, the snowfalls sound according to uwz.at gradually. At first it remains cloudy, but during the day there is a friendly mix of sun and clouds. The temperatures rise to 0 to 6 degrees, while the northwest wind blows lively in the morning and subsides in the afternoon. The Stefanitag, December 26, then promises mostly sunny weather, despite possible fog fields. Pull off clouds from the west from noon, but the precipitation remains limited.

The current weather forecasts show that the snow border in the Alps, which is usually between 200 and 400 meters above sea level, also behaves very differently. These values depend on factors such as temperature and humidity, which makes the meteorological prediction complex. Especially in the narrow alpine valleys, the snowfall boundary can drop to the valley floor with severe precipitation, which leads to a mopy landscape in connection with the current snow and rain mix.
