Upper Austria’s bathing lakes are still far too cool

Those of the bathing lakes, however, not for a long time. The hydrographic service of the state reported 15.3 degrees yesterday for the measuring point on the Gmundner Esplanade. In Kammer am Attersee it was only 11.8 degrees.

At the Aussee in Linz, where there was a fatal accident on Sunday, it is still far too cool at 16 degrees for a bathing excursion. “This is exactly the dangerous time now, because the temperature difference between air and water is very large,” says Martin Eberl, deputy head of water rescue in Upper Austria. When immersed, there might be reflexive inhalation, the circulatory system might be overloaded. Even stand-up paddlers should not do without protective clothing at the moment.
