Massive temperature drop expected in Austria

The current warm winter temperatures in Austria are expected to plummet up to 28 degrees following Christmas and over the New Year period, a meteorologist said Tuesday.

The very warm highs of up to 18 degrees Celsius at present that are bringing to a close the warmest year in Austrian recorded history, are finally expected to reach typically cold and frosty levels, said Markus Wadsak, Chief Meteorologist for Austrian state broadcaster ORF.

Wadsak said temperatures will reach zero degrees in Vienna around Boxing Day and the days after, and particularly in the west of the country will later drop considerably further, with lows of minus 15 degrees expected for the cities of Innsbruck and Salzburg.

Despite the cold expected to bring about more typical winter temperatures, little snow is expected, with only 10 to 15 centimeters forecast for the northern Alpine regions by the weekend, and ski resorts desperately hoping for snowfall likely to miss out at least in the short-term.
