Sleet and delicious punch: December brings surprises!

On Monday, December 9th, 2024, the weather in Austria will be cloudy and changeable. According to information from meinviertel.at, the day will be accompanied by dense clouds that will bring light snow or, in lower altitudes, sleet. The temperatures fluctuate between minus 3 and plus 1 degrees in the early morning hours, while the daily highs are only between 0 and 4 degrees. In addition, a weak to moderate, sometimes brisk wind blows from northwest to north. These cold temperatures and snowfall bring a wintry atmosphere to the region.

Rising fuel prices in November

Another interesting aspect is the increase in fuel prices that is currently happening. oeamtc.at reported that the liter of diesel cost an average of 1,513 euros in October and rose further to an average of 1,536 euros in November, whereas the price for Super stagnated at around 1,497 euros. This increase in diesel prices is difficult to explain, especially since crude oil prices remained stable. Experts attribute the price increases to a combination of market changes and the lower demand for heating oil, although this no longer seems so relevant in the current situation. It is recommended to compare fuel prices before a trip to take advantage of cheaper prices early in the morning, as gas stations are only allowed to adjust prices once a day at 12 p.m.

With the best savings opportunities and developments in the fuel market, it is advisable to fill up wisely and keep an eye on the current offers. If you fill up at one of the cheapest gas stations, you can save up to 33 euros on a 50 liter tank compared to more expensive providers such as those on the motorways, as the current data shows. Given the cooler weather conditions and fuel price trends, this time of year is particularly important for drivers.
