Climate information

Are current temperatures typical for the season? Where exactly did more or less precipitation fall last month compared to the average? Which weather extremes are being altered by anthropogenic climate change? How much has Austria warmed since pre-industrial times? What characterises Austria’s current climate? What records and extremes define it? How has Austria’s climate changed, and how will it develop in the future?

With its national meteorological measurement network and derived datasets, GeoSphere Austria monitors climatic particularities, places current events into a long-term context, and observes the state and development of the climate and its impacts in Austria in near real-time. Furthermore, the latest state of scientific knowledge is summarized objectively, independently, and comprehensibly in numerous articles.

Here, you will find continuously updated climate tables, diagrams, and maps for all of Austria, as well as information on climate change in Austria and worldwide (in german):

In Vienna, Lower Austria, and Upper Austria, the current event (September 12 to 16, 2024) brought almost 25 percent more rainfall across the region compared to previous five-day extreme events, and in some areas even around 120 to 160 percent more. © GeoSphere Austria.

The verified measurement data from GeoSphere Austria, together with other data and tools, provide the foundation for climate-related products and services for federal ministries, federal states, municipalities, businesses, private individuals, and media. Additionally, these data are scientifically analysed in climate research and prepared for the national climate monitoring service.
