Insert in Austria: Cold nights and mild days in sight!

A high -pressure area called "Ernst" ensures winter cold weather in Austria in the second half of the week. According to the Ubimet meteorologist, it brings calm, stable conditions, but the population expects weather -related changes from Sunday because a low pressure influence starts. The change of air pressure will probably lead to an increase in temperatures from Monday, as [today.at] reported. Austria is currently located on the southern edge of the high -pressure area, which brings cold air masses from the east. From Thursday the high will expand to the Alpine region, while the weather in the lowlands will continue to be shaped by moist cold.

On Friday, there is announcing the mountains of bright sunshine. In the lowlands, however, the high fog remains stubborn, and freezing fog can occur in some areas. The temperatures will fluctuate between -2 and +2 degrees in most flat and hills, while at high altitudes from around 1500 m up to +5 degrees can be measured. On Saturday and Sunday there are partly cloudy weather in the east and reasonably mild winter temperatures in the south. In higher altitudes, the snow limit is expected to increase to about 600 m, as the meteorologists indicate.

The interaction of high and low pressure areas

high and low pressure areas have a significant influence on the weather. They arise from various temperature distributions on earth caused by the sun. When warm air collects in one place, a low pressure area is created, while cold, falling air increases air pressure and forms a high pressure area. As a result, no clouds can form in high -pressure areas, which typically leads to sunny but dry weather. The weather is therefore heavily dependent on the respective geographical location and the season, which applies to the current situation in Austria, where cold air masses from the east and wet -cold air dominate in the valleys, as the ZAMG explained in detail.
