Semmering - Wechselgebiet

Low avalanche danger.

Low avalanche danger.

The avalanche risk is categorised as low. Due to the very mild temperatures, a wet snow slide may still occur occasionally if there are sufficient snow reserves.

The snowpack is already wet in the morning and gets wetter during the daytime changes. In the Bucklige Welt and on the Hochwechsel there is very little snow below 1400 metres. In the Gutenstein Alps, the hills up to 1000 metres are already mostly bare. With the mild temperatures, the remaining snowpack will melt away quickly.

Sunday night will be mostly cloudy. The clouds will soften in the early hours of the morning. By sunrise, most of the clouds will have cleared. During the day it will be very sunny with partly cloudless skies. There will be a marked rise in temperature. At 1500 metres, temperatures will rise from 3 to 13 degrees, with up to 19 degrees possible at 1000 metres. Moderate to strong winds from the west with gusts of between 40 and 60 km/h.

A weak cold front will pass through on Easter Monday. This will bring isolated rain showers. The avalanche risk remains low.
