The weather in Austria is marked by a temperate climate and four fairly distinct seasons. If you're moving to this central European nation, you should plan to bring clothing to suit sunny summer days, warm apparel for winter, and plenty of lightweight layers for the months in between.

The four seasons and beautiful Austrian landscape provide ample scope for outdoor activities and travel opportunities. Summer highs can reach 86°F (30°C), while winter lows frequently descend to a chilly 14°F (-10°C). Snowfall is common, particularly in the mountainous regions, and can last until March. 

The hottest months are July and August, while December and January are the coldest. Most of Austria's rain falls in June, July, and August.
