Watch out, thunderstorms! On Saturday afternoon, a thunderstorm cell moved across Vienna, parts of Lower Austria and Burgenland, causing heavy rain, hail and squalls. The Severe Weather Center (UWZ) has therefore issued a red warning for Vienna.

Saturday will remain unsettled: Clouds keep moving through and rain showers and thunderstorms are possible everywhere. There will be some sunshine in between, with the longest sunny spells in Lower Carinthia, southern Styria and southern Burgenland.
