Violent thunderstorms move towards Salzburg - warning of heavy rain!

A colorful weekend with almost 30 degrees quickly became a proverbial scaffolding, because now violent thunderstorms have taken the course in Salzburg. According to the Salzburg24 reporting, the storm front is particularly active on Monday in the mountain gauue, while the showers will move further north in the coming days. Geosphere Austria has issued a yellow storm warning for the next few days, which means that there may be local floods and small murs.

From Monday afternoon, the thunderstorms will spread, which can not only bring heavy rain but also hail. Mountains, such as the Lungau and Pongau, are particularly at risk, while thunderstorms are possible in Flachgau and the city of Salzburg, but will be less intense. In Styria there were already violent thunderstorms on Sunday, which led to regional floods. Among other things, the fire brigade in Neuberg was on duty to combat the Mürz, which had entered over the bank.

warning levels for the regions

The severe weather warnings are not to be taken seriously without reason. Wetter.com explains various warning levels: Four stages are set for thunderstorms, whereby from level 3, very strong thunderstorms are assumed with hail and hurricane -like gusts. In Salzburg, warning level 1 is particularly true for thunderstorms that can go hand in hand with flash strokes and gusts of wind.

As far as the wind conditions are concerned, there are also various warning levels according to Wetter.com. In the case of wind speeds between 65 and 85 km/h, warning level 2 is activated, while from 105 km/h the severe weather warning applies. These winds can ensure objects and decaying trees, which could cause problems, especially in densely populated areas.

outlook on the weather conditions

For Tuesday, remaining clouds can initially be expected in the morning, but in the late afternoon the storm front then moves north over Salzburg. The temperatures can reach up to 25 degrees. Wednesday will be exciting, because here too it will remain storm-free on the 30-degree mark at hair dryer and temperatures, while in the evening a possible storm front threatens from Bavaria. However, it remains to be seen whether this Salzburg will reach Salzburg.

Overall, you can expect weather calming from Thursday and Friday, at temperatures above 20 degrees. On Friday it could even get a little warmer. For the Salzburgers, it is therefore important to stay aware of the next few days and prepare for possible swings.
