It’s supposed to get up to 36 degrees Celsius in the shade in Upper Austria today. And as always, when it is extremely hot for a long time, there is a risk of thunderstorms. And tomorrow it’s supposed to be that time once more.
A cold front will bring cooling on Wednesday and associated extensive thunderstorm activity, the weather service GeoSphere Austria (formerly ZAMG) warns of. According to the meteorologists, thunderstorms must be expected from the west from Wednesday 12:00 p.m. These propagate towards the east in the followingnoon and evening. After midnight most thunderstorms should have passed east.
Where does it get dangerous?
One “Orange warning” is for the foothills of the Alps and the southern Innviertel region. The weather experts expect the strongest thunderstorms there.
Yellow warning:
Thunderstorms are also likely in the north, but will be slightly less severe. A flexible expansion of the orange areas to the north can happen at any time.
orange and yellow?
The thunderstorms bring all dangers in zones with “orange warning”. Storm gusts can cause trees to fall and the associated effects. Locally, there can be heavy rain and thus minor flooding (cellar, farmland, small streams) and mudslides. The experts from GeoSphere Austria warn that hail (up to four centimeters in diameter) can also damage cars, houses, etc.
Secure items, expect power outages
How to behave in strong storms – tips from experts.
Keep your distance from torrents, watercourses and flooded areas! Observe the local weather development and be aware of the risk of lightning, expect rapid developments and changes in the thunderstorm path! Secure outdoor objects that can be moved in good time (e.g. party tents, trampolines or garden furniture)! Take off the parasols and pull in the awnings! Plan for delays in road, rail and air traffic! Close windows, doors and garage doors as well as skylights and skylights! Expect temporary power outages! Take shelter outdoors in good time!
