In Carinthia, the state crisis team is preparing for the rains announced for Monday. “We assume that there will be storms over a large area,” said Gerd Kurath from the state press service when asked by APA. It is not yet possible to say exactly where it will rain and how intensively it will rain. In the area around Bad Eisenkappel, where a slope is currently still in motion, in Ebenthal and Maria Rain, the damage from the last storm has not yet been completely eliminated.
In any case, with large amounts of rain, landslides and mudslides are to be expected once more. Geosphere Austria continuously provides the crisis management team with updated weather forecasts and a situation update with authorities, emergency organizations and experts from all relevant areas is planned for Monday morning. The fire brigades are prepared for these operations and the mobile flood protection is also ready. According to Walter Egger, spokesman for the Carinthian fire brigades, Bad Eisenkappel is the main focus, but the preparatory measures are being taken across the country.
The weather change, which was already announced for Upper Carinthia for Sunday followingnoon, will bring cooler temperatures once more for the next week following the heat wave. According to the forecasts of Geosphere Austria, the rain showers should slowly subside on Tuesday, the sun will prevail once more by Thursday and the temperatures will level off at around 20 degrees.
