Forecast: Austria set for high temperatures and storms throughout weekend and beyond
The weekend promises hot weather, sun and rain showers and from Monday, temperatures will reach 35C.
Austria will enjoy a typical summer weekend coming up in the next few days, with temperatures above 30C, sunny days and afternoon thunderstorms, according to the forecast by the country's weather agency, ZAMG.
The volatile weather will last throughout the Donauinselfest weekend, with visitors to Austria's largest free open-air festival having to prepare for hot sunny days and storms in Vienna.

On Friday afternoon, most of the country will see high temperatures reaching 30C and thunderstorms during the evening and night, including in the city capital.
Saturday morning will still be a bit rainy in the east of the country but only overcast in the south and west. Temperatures will reach 28C. During the afternoon, only Vienna and Burgenland should see rainfall, but temperatures continue high, with thermometers marking from 25C to 28C.
Sunday will be sunny and hot all over Austria, with some residual clouds during the day. In Vienna, temperatures will pass 30C, so festival-goers beware of the heat. Local showers are not excluded in the mountain, but should be an exception.
