Winter onset in Carinthia: cold front brings frost and snow showers
Carinthia faces a clearly noticeable change in weather because a cold front is coming to the state. The meteorologist Alexander Hedenig from Geosphere Austria explains that this weather change will bring frosty temperatures and local snow showers. The region around Klagenfurt is particularly affected, where the high fog could partially dissolve, but prevails throughout Wednesday.
After the night of the night to Thursday, the cold front will be pulled over Carinthia, which is expected to bring some snow showers with it. Hedenig explains that these snow showers will rather be local phenomena that occur primarily in the mountains. In the southern Carinthian, for example in the Lesachtal, some snowfalls are conceivable, but the amount of snow will be one or two centimeters.
temperatures below the zero point
During the night of Friday, the temperatures could fall to minus five to minus six degrees during the clear nights. This is an important message for garden owners: it is strongly recommended to bring plants inside before frost. These temperatures could also fall below freezing in urban areas for the first time.
On Thursday morning, Hedenig expects that the clouds withdraw and the sun comes out. "The chances are good that the fog in Klagenfurt resolves. In the afternoon the sun should penetrate in the pool," said the meteorologist. Nevertheless, the warming remains limited; During the day, no more than five degrees is reached.
sunny Friday awaited
Friday brings another weather improvement, despite possible fog fields in the Klagenfurt pool, which should dissolve until the morning. The day shows up in the whole country of Sonnenreich, and sunny slopes could reach temperatures up to 8 degrees.
According to Hedenig, however, there are less pleasant news for the ski areas. In the weekend, stubborn fog could form while the temperatures in the mountains rise. "This means that the ski areas on Wednesday and Thursday, when snowing is possible, will not enjoy long, since milder temperatures of up to two degrees are expected to be around 2000 meters on Friday," reports Hedenig.
These frosty conditions and the upcoming snow showers are of great importance for the Carinthia region, since they can have an impact on agriculture and leisure activities in the mountains. For more information about the weather in Carinthia, See the current reports on www.meinbezirk.at .
