Austria is preparing for a new heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach 39°C over the weekend, particularly in eastern regions. The highest temperatures are anticipated on Friday and Saturday. A potential peak of 40°C is possible on Tuesday. However, relief is expected on Sunday, as increased cloud cover and showers, including thunderstorms, are forecast. This shift indicates a breaking of the intense heat, but the weekend will remain significantly hot. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions against the heat.
