The weather in Vienna is influenced by its temperate continental climate. Summers are warm and sunny, while winters are bitterly cold warm.

The average temperature in winter (December to February) ranges between 30°F and 39°F (-1°C to 4°C), while in summer (June to August), temperatures fluctuate between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C).

Thunderstorms occur frequently in summer, and snowfall is common in winter. Spring, autumn and the beginning of summer are perhaps the best times to enjoy the city. Regardless of the weather, you can always find an activity to enjoy in Vienna. Avid skiers and snowboarders can take to Austria’s exceptional slopes during the winter months.
