Cloudy, rainy - the past few weeks in Upper Austria have been anything but inviting for autumn walks or activities such as kite flying or hiking. This is now set to change and the Golden Autumn will get a chance. However, there is a small spoilsport that makes it cooler than it is.

In the past two weeks - unlike most of this year - it has been colder than average. But that's over for now: from Wednesday, warm air from the Mediterranean will bring mild and dry autumn weather. "It's often foggy in the mornings, but during the course of the day it will be sunny almost everywhere," says Alexander Ohms from GeoSphere Austria.

The middle of the week will be the nicest
It will be warmest on Wednesday and Thursday with temperatures of up to 22 degrees. However, it won't be too comfortable, as the wind will blow across the country at up to 40 km/h.

Retreat to the mountains
Nevertheless, the snow is also retreating again in the mountains, with temperatures of up to 15 degrees even at 2000 meters above sea level today. "The next seven to ten days will be dominated by warm, mild air. In the foothills of the Alps, however, it may still be cloudy in the mornings," Ohms gives a confident outlook.
