Austria’s northeastern regions are preparing for extreme heat this weekend, with a highest-level heat warning in effect. Temperatures are forecast to exceed 35 degrees Celsius in all state capitals on Saturday and Sunday. Vienna is expected to reach a peak of 39 degrees Celsius. Authorities have not yet issued specific guidance beyond advising residents to take precautions against the heat. The intense heatwave poses risks to vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. This weather event is prompting concerns about potential strain on infrastructure and public health services. Residents are urged to stay hydrated and seek shade during peak hours.
