But what makes the temperature feel even colder is the wind. November and December are more bitingly cold. While Vienna may not get much snow - and it has done in years past apparently, but rarely anymore - the temperature is an entirely different story.īeginning in early-October, temps will fall quite quickly so that, most years, we get an average of 15☌ (59☏) during the day, with a drop to around 8☌ (46.5☏) at night.
It wasn’t, as my freezing Dad can attest to The temperature in winter in Vienna, Austria Just in time for spring.Īny snow we do get doesn’t seem to adversely affect Vienna’s superb public transportation either, as trams, trains and buses stick to the same on-time schedule they always do.Īpril 11th, 2019 at the Schönbrunn Palace Easter market - should have been warmer. Then hordes of city workers spread out across the city to shovel it up, and return Vienna to clean, grit-free sidewalks once again. That grit will stay on them right through until the end of March or so as well, Until the chance of snow has finally disappeared. where I have fallen on my ass on icy sidewalks more often than I would like to admit, it is rare to even slip in Vienna, let alone fall, as the sidewalks are gritted to perfection. Followed soon after by the folks spreading gravel and grit on the sidewalks.Īs it often snows late at night, or sometime in the middle of the night, that means by the time you get up and head off to work, the sidewalks are fully gritted and easily navigable. Related: Does Vienna get snow and how much does the city get?Ī good indicator of just how good Vienna authorities are about clearing snow is you will often hear the snow ploughs out right as the snow begins to fall. Half the time before it has barely even arrived. Snow that either comes down in a few flakes and has gone by lunchtime, or 1-2 centimeters worth that might stick around for a couple of days, and then is gone as well.Īny snow that falls in winter in Vienna is also easy to navigate, as city authorities are brilliant at getting it cleared.
In fact, in the almost six years since I moved to Vienna, I have only seen a small amount of snow. Yeah, no, that’s not the situation in Vienna.
#Weather in vienna austria during october tv
Turn on the TV (or, in my case, watch a YouTube video as I don’t own a TV) at any time during the winter in Austria, and you’ll see stories of snow in western Austria so deep people are having to stand on their roofs and shovel it off, before the roof collapses under the weight of it. I know, when I first moved to Austria’s capital city, it certainly surprised me, as I expected it to be much worse than it actually is. In fact, weather in winter in Vienna might surprise a lot of people. Sorry, we’re about three hours away from the Alps, snow isn’t a daily occurrence but, yep…it’s cold. Only a week or two away from what I would classify as winter in Vienna, Austria, and I already have friends living overseas in warmer climes asking me “What’s the weather like in winter in Vienna?”.īecause I think most, who have never been to Austria I admit, imagine a typical Austrian scene - sky-high mountains, snow as far as the eye can see and weather as cold as a witch’s tit.
