Land-surface temperature in Austria 1743–2013 as 12-month and 10-year moving averages. Climate change is affecting Austrian temperatures, weather , ecosystems and biodiversity . Since 1950 temperatures have risen by 1.8 °C, and in the past 150 years glaciers have melted, losing a significant amount of their volume. [ 1 ]
This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
This is a list of cities by average temperature (monthly and yearly). The temperatures listed are averages of the daily highs and lows. Thus, the actual daytime temperature in a given month may be considerably higher than the temperature listed here, depending on how large the difference between daily highs and lows is.
Temperatures measured directly on the ground may exceed air temperatures by 30 to 50 °C (54 to 90 °F). [6] The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California , United States, on 15 July 1972. [ 7 ]
The driest months, July and August, have on average two days of precipitation (4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) of which 50% is drizzle), and the wettest months, November and December, have on average 12–15 days of precipitation and around 127 mm (5.0 in). [20] December is the rainiest month of which half the days receive some form of precipitation.
Increase of average yearly temperature (2000–2017) above the 20th century average in selected cities in Europe [21] Climate change has resulted in an increase in temperature of 2.3 °C (4.14 °F) (2022) in Europe compared to pre-industrial levels. Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world. [22]
During the final week of August, temperatures started to rapidly decline across Northern, Western and Central Europe, with frosts in the UK and heavy snow in Austria and Germany accompanied by temperatures below freezing. In Austria, the city of Salzburg reported 5 cm (2.0 in), with nearby mountains reporting as much as 40 cm (16 in). [15] [16]
Although Austria is cold in the winter (−10 to 0 °C), summer temperatures can be relatively high, [156] with average temperatures in the mid-20s and a highest temperature of 40.5 °C (105 °F) in August 2013. [157]
