The weather is set to remain hot and midsummery throughout Austria on Wednesday. Weather experts are expecting the hottest day of the week. Temperatures could reach 35 degrees Celsius. However, the hot weather is also causing heat storms in some federal states late in the day.

The rush to the outdoor pools will probably not be long in coming on Wednesday either. Already in the early hours of the morning, for example, 25 degrees were measured in Vienna. Shortly before 9 a.m., the 30 degree mark was broken in Langenlebarn near Tulln (Lower Austria). With a strong upward trend.

Hottest in the east and south
As in the previous days, the heatwave with temperatures above 30 degrees did not provide much cooling during the night either. The 35 degree mark could be broken this time, especially in the east and south of the country. According to weather experts, temperatures are expected to peak at around 5 pm.

Thunderstorms with hail and squalls
At the same time, thunderstorms with severe weather potential will form in other federal states on Wednesday. The thunderstorms will often be very severe and even bring hail, heavy rain and squalls.

In the east, the first thunderclouds are not expected until Friday. Until then, temperatures will remain above 30 degrees and ensure more midsummer days. The weekend will then show its rainy side. From Monday, the sun will prevail again and temperatures of up to 33 degrees are expected.
