The weather is about to get turbulent - Styria is also getting some snow.

Calm - that's a term that meteorologists also use. Turbulent is known to be the opposite - but that's how the weather is now brewing over our province. "There should be snow across the board," says Christoph Matella from Ubimet. "But before that, two more cold fronts are due."

The low pressure will bring cold as early as Monday night, snow will fall in upper Styria at up to 700 meters, but it should soon give way to rain. Sunshine in the south. On Tuesday, it will be cloudy and unfriendly in large parts, just like November, and the sun should remain the exception.

Models are uncertain

 "Wednesday will be cold, stormy and exciting with another low pressure system," predicts Matella. This will ensure that snow falls as far as the valleys. And on Thursday, it should even reach significant levels and at least cover the whole of Styria in snow. But, the expert qualifies: "There are still a lot of uncertainties at the moment! If the Italian low moves just a little, there will be no snow." In other words: It comes as it comes. Tomorrow, Sunday, it should be nice once again.
