It is still cold in the mountains in the first month of summer. The weather can be wet and windy. In addition, wet snow can fall in mountainous areas in June. Nighttime temperatures sometimes drop below zero. These differences are due to the peculiarities of the location of each region and the relief of Austria.
Summer droughts are extremely rare. It should be noted that high importance is established in the Danube valleys. Snow melts actively in mountainous areas in summer, which leads to frequent floods. The Danube level sometimes rises by ten meters.
