October weather forecast
Austria

October in Austria marks the full swing of the autumn season, characterized by falling temperatures, diminishing daylight, and intermittent rainfall, punctuated by the continuing spectacle of vibrant autumn colors across the country.

The city of Vienna, in Austria's eastern region, experiences temperatures between 8°C (46.4°F) and 15°C (59°F) in October, reflecting a steady decline in temperatures as autumn progresses. Similarly, Linz, in the northern region, sees average temperatures ranging from 7°C (44.6°F) to 15°C (59°F). The temperatures dip further during the late evenings and early mornings, lending a distinct crispness to the air.

Rainfall during October fluctuates across Austria, with quantities varying from 40mm (1.57") to 80mm (3.15"). Despite the reduced rainfall compared to September, brief showers and overcast skies are not uncommon, enhancing the beauty of the autumn foliage.

Snowfall in October is rare in the plains and lower altitudes, but in high altitude regions above 2000 meters, sporadic snowfall can occur towards the end of the month. This sporadic snowfall sets the stage for the imminent winter season, especially in the Alpine regions.

The daylight hours in October decrease to approximately four to five hours per day. The reduced sunlight does not significantly hamper outdoor activities, as the vivid autumn colors and generally clear skies offer a unique charm.

Relative humidity in October fluctuates between 60% and 90%, a slight increase compared to September. The weather is predominantly cool and clear, although overcast conditions can occasionally bring increased humidity.

Comparing October with September, the drop in temperatures, reduced daylight, and occasional rainfall highlight the deepening of autumn. Moving into November, Austria prepares for the advent of winter, marked by further decreasing temperatures, increased chances of snowfall in the mountains, and even shorter daylight hours.
