Thunderstorms and severe weather threaten: weather warning for all of Austria

Today, July 13, 2025, a low pressure area over northern Germany is causing exciting weather developments in Austria. This so-called southern wing not only brings an increase in temperature to summer values, but also an increased tendency for thunderstorms, especially in the Alps and the east of the country. Jessica Spengler from uwz.at informs that the coming days will bring both sun and thunderstorms and showers. On Sunday, people can initially look forward to clear skies with harmless clouds, but as the day progresses, cumulus clouds gather and the risk of thunderstorms increases. Vorarlberg, Flachgau and the southeastern mountain and hill country are particularly affected.

What is the weather forecast for the next few days? On Monday we expect mostly sunny conditions, while the first clouds will appear in the west and showers and thunderstorms will develop. There is a risk of hail, heavy rain and squalls, which can occur especially in the southern regions. For Tuesday, meteorologists are predicting a fairly calm phase in the morning, but you should pay particular attention to various showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. The unpleasant weather conditions have been issued as an advance warning for the population, as is also explained in detail at wetter.com.

Explosive weather development

The weather situation is not only influenced by local conditions, but is also largely influenced by the global climate change. A recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights that global warming and increasing greenhouse gas concentrations are making extreme weather events more likely. Heavy rainfall in Western Europe is 1.2 to 9 times more common than before the global temperature increase of 1.2 degrees Celsius, as reported by wwf.de. Combined with human factors such as soil sealing, these changes increase the risk of flooding and flooding.

Weather warnings should also be taken into account in this context: These vary from levels that cover wind speeds over 50 km/h to extreme storms with gusts of over 140 km/h. Thunderstorms could be associated with severe side effects such as heavy rain or hail. A clear warning has been issued by wetter.com for all weather conditions so that the population can be well informed and prepared.

Prepared for the storm

The coming days therefore require special attention to weather developments. If thunderstorms and showers arrive, the weather fronts could have devastating consequences for the affected areas. It is therefore advisable to prepare for possible weather extremes in good time. By taking a closer look at the weather reports and warnings from reliable sources, such as uwz.at, you can prepare well for the next few days and avoid potential dangers.

So be vigilant in the coming days because the weather conditions will be anything but boring. A certain sense of the weather can perhaps make a difference!
