Records were set or even broken at numerous weather stations—for example, in Vienna. Here, the mercury in the city center did not drop below 27.4 degrees, a new record. It was also the warmest night on record. In Hornstein (Burgenland), temperatures did not drop below 28.5 degrees.
In the western part of the country, however, several thunderstorms have already passed through, and they are expected to intensify over the course of Wednesday.
