On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, Austria recorded its highest measured temperature to date. At the weather station in Vienna's district of Stammersdorf, the thermometer rose to 40.8 degrees Celsius, with some reports rounding the value to 41 degrees. aktuality.sk ↗
The new figure surpassed Austria's previous maximum of 40.5 degrees Celsius, which was measured in 2013 in Deutsch-Altenburg in Lower Austria. The record fell in eastern Vienna during a significant heat wave that affected the whole of Austria. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
The hot weather followed an exceptionally warm and dry July. The past month was about two degrees warmer in Austria than the long-term average and was among the warmest Julys since measurements began approximately 260 years ago. It was also rated as a very dry month, which intensified the strain caused by the high temperatures. hnonline.sk ↗
The current record shows the continuation of a period of extreme summer weather in Austria. Further developments will depend on how long the heat wave lasts and whether the coming days bring cooling or precipitation that would ease the drought and the temperature strain on cities. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
