The new week in Austria not only brings the next heat wave of up to 36 degrees but also brings violent storms in the luggage again.
A complex low pressure core over the British Isles is felt on Assumption Day in Austria. The western part of the country, in particular, is under the influence of a high-altitude trough, and as the air mass becomes unstable, thunderstorms can occur, some of which are severe. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the influence of high pressure will lead to a temporary lull in the weather, while very hot air will hit us at the same time. On Thursday there will be an increasingly western high-level current again, so the weekend will be unstable.
