30 year old heat record broken in Austria

[Corvus]

The 30-year-old Austrian heat record falls - and exactly where he was located. In Dellach Carinthia's Drau was on Saturday afternoon, according to the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) with 39.9 degrees, the highest temperature ever measured in Austria

Nice! I like it hot and humid. It's nice banging weather. Wait till sun sets and then go for it. Sweaty bodies in the heat of passion, there is nothing like it! :laugh:

Well I am not so amused, even though I am used to heat and this is a regular occurance here, this time it is really tough to handle

It has been bad enough here that I am considering having air-conditioning installed, behind a nice piece of neo-classical fretwork of course.

New peak of the heat wave

New temperature record: in Neusiedl am See today were measured shortly before 14:00 40.6 degrees. Not only a new record in Burgenland, but also unique in Austria.

The funny thing is, Austria`s football champion Austria Vienna played yesterday a game in Iceland in the
3rd round of Champions League qualification and managed to grab a draw which enabled them to progress narrowly.
And guess what. It lightly snowed during the game ;)

[Corvus]

Even in Vienna a new all time heat record is finally there:
39.7°. The 40° can be reached the meterologist say

Wrong thread

[Anglojew]

Even by Australian standards that's hot.

[Corvus]

Even by Australian standards that's hot.

Its because of Eastern Austrias continental climate, some call it Steppe Climate
Extremly hot in summer and very cold in winter.

Fortunatly the heat wave has subsided now, at least for a while.

LOL climate of eastern austria is far from the continental steppe climate. its a typical mild central european climate :)

No its a Steppe climate, only Mongolic warriors like me are able to survive in these harsh conditions :)

[Windischer]

Aye, but Israel is a desert, so it is acceptable. A friend of mine travelled to Israel (Taglit) last summer and she said she got temperatures of 45ºC!

[FrostDragon]

So Europe actually got hotter summers than Israel this year...some days were as low as +28c here, even thought it was mostly ~+30-33c.

[Corvus]

yeah in your fridges :D

Comon mate, here in Eastern Austria it is often so cold that when I spit the salvia turns to ice before it reaches the ground :D

Israeli weather can vary from blizzard to extreme heat wave, but yes, even in Jerusalem, one of the cooler places in Israel, July 2012 was an awful +40c in the shade, and forget about shade, because extreme Mediterranean climate means there is no rain at all in summer.
As I said, this year was pretty mild, with around +30-33c in most days. Despite these hot summer, higher places in Israel occationally go low enough for it to snow in winter (even thought this is wet snow aside of Mt. Hermon), it did snow last January, but it didn't last long sadly...
Anyway, if I may ask, how's winter in Austria? As far as I know, it's around zero...or am I mistaking?

As mentioned winters are usually very cold, esp. in Western Alpine regions but also in the North East.
In Vienna and South Eastern parts it can get cold too occaionally but its not so severe

[Windischer]

ahah but you live in the north, i thought that by east you mean wien or burgenland :D

Yeah, I've seen pictures of snow in Yerushalayim, very nice. I don't know how the winter in Austria is, sorry, am not from there.
