Winter strikes back: snow and cold return to Austria!
A striking change of weather has reached Austria, with the return of cold and snowfall. The high -pressure area over Northern Europe and the low pressure area over Eastern Europe have a decisive influence on the current weather conditions. Cold, dry air from Arctic regions flows into the country, which leads to a change of mild temperatures to fresher conditions. In the northeast of Austria, the weather conditions remain under the influence of Eastern European deep, while the west benefits from cheaper weather conditions. These changes bring a recognizable decline in temperatures that are now between 3 and 8 degrees.
On Monday morning, sunshine shows in many places, but this is overshadowed by dense clouds in the east. In Lower Austria in particular, there could be a few rain or snowfall above 400 to 500 meters in the afternoon. In the regions from Vorarlberg to Carinthia, sunny weather predominantly shapes the day.

climate change and weather events in Europe
By probabilistic attribution studies, scientists can promptly determine after extreme weather events to what extent such conditions have become more likely due to climate change. In addition, an interactive online tool was developed that enables the influence of climate change on weather events in almost real time. The tool, which offers daily data on temperature and precipitation curves from January 1, 2024, is available at climate-storylines.awi.de
The current weather conditions in Austria illustrates the constant changes, which are caused by climatic influences, and also shows the importance of well -founded data to assess these developments. While the weather is changing in the next few days, it remains to be seen how the climatic factors will affect the weather conditions in the country in the long term.
