The return of winter puts the apricot blossoms in danger

Minus one, minus two degrees Celsius: The apricot blossoms – which can currently be admired in all their glory in the Eferding basin in particular – can barely withstand a light frost. However, the currently prevailing north current is likely to cause night-time temperatures to drop even further. “The night on Wednesday will be particularly dangerous,” says Alexander Ohms, meteorologist at GeoSphere Austria (formerly ZAMG). Temperatures can drop as much as six degrees below zero.
