Weather & Climate of Danube
Valley and Vienna Basin
Winter 2007
Early winter has hit us. The slopes
have opened in November already. It is going to be an excellent
winter season for winter sports afficionados. But in the city,
too, the current weather has its benefits. Christmas markets
are going to open and they profit from the wintery atmosphere!
If you are planning to travel to Austria this winter, we would
recommend that you come prepared for very cold weather. The
weather in Austria is particularly changeable and the wind,
especially in Vienna can be bitterly cold!
This part of Austria (Upper and Lower Austria) is rather
dry and influenced by continental Europe. Cold winds from
Eastern Europe and Russia can lower winter temperatures considerable,
summer is generally hot and dry.
A sunny autumn day can be spectacular with its coloured leaves.
However, Upper and lower Austria can be rather foggy.
