Thu 17th Apr, 2025

The weather forecast for Easter in Austria indicates predominantly pleasant and warm conditions, according to the latest report from Geosphere Austria. On Easter Sunday and Monday, temperatures may reach as high as 25 degrees Celsius. However, localized rain showers could occur in the next five days, with an increased chance of thunderstorms starting at the beginning of the upcoming workweek.

On Good Friday, many areas across the country will experience considerable cloud cover along with scattered rain showers, particularly in the mountainous regions and southeastern areas. In the afternoon, thunderstorms may develop, especially in Styria and Burgenland. By evening, the likelihood of rain will decrease in northern and eastern regions, allowing for some clearing. Winds will generally be light to moderate, becoming brisk in the Danube region, primarily from the west. Morning temperatures will range from four to 14 degrees, while daytime highs will be between 12 and 21 degrees.

As Easter weekend begins, a high-pressure system will bring mostly sunny conditions on Saturday, though occasional clouds may drift through. More significant cloud cover is expected along the northern Alps, where brief rain showers cannot be entirely ruled out. Winds will be light to moderate, blowing from the east to south. Morning temperatures will be around three to nine degrees, with daytime maximums between 17 and 22 degrees.

Easter Sunday is set to start off very sunny across much of Austria, with minimal cloud cover. By midday, however, cumulus clouds are likely to form, particularly in the mountainous areas. Rain showers may occur, especially in western regions, but the majority of the country will remain dry. Winds will generally be light to moderate, with stronger breezes in the west and south. Morning temperatures will vary from four to eleven degrees, climbing to between 19 and 25 degrees during the day.

On Easter Monday, the day will commence dry and sunny across Austria, with only thin, high clouds expected. As the afternoon progresses, an increase in cumulus clouds will lead to some rain showers, particularly in higher altitudes, while the plains should remain largely dry. Winds will be light to moderate, coming from various directions. Morning lows will range from five to eleven degrees, with highs expected to reach 17 to 25 degrees.

Tuesday's weather is forecasted to be variable: initially sunny, but as the day advances, the likelihood of cumulus clouds and thunderstorms will rise. The longest periods of dry weather are anticipated in Upper and Lower Austria. Winds will remain light to moderate, blowing from different directions. Morning temperatures will range from six to twelve degrees, with daytime highs between 16 and 24 degrees.
