Austria is located in a temperate climatic zone with a Central European
climate influenced by the Atlantic climate. The four seasons (Spring,
Summer, Autumn and Winter) each have typical temperature and climatic
characteristics.
Due to the topographical diversity and the relative large West-East
expanse, there are three different climatic regions:
East:
Pannonian climate with a continental influence – low precipitation,
hot summers but only moderately cold winters.
Alpine Regions:
Alpine climate - high precipitation ( except inner alpine valley regions
such as the upper Inntal), short summers, long winters.
Remainder of the country:
transient climate influenced by the Atlantic (in the West) and a continental
influence in the South-east.
Klagenfurt:
is influenced by Mediterranean climate and often depends on the weather
of Northern Italy. Summers in Klagenfurt sometimes will be very hot
(max. temperature can be 30-35 ° C) but can also be rainy.
