Austria set a temperature record with a temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit [40.8°C].

Austria has broken its temperature record with a reading of 40.8°C recorded at the Beč-Stammersdorf station, according to GeoSphere Austria's meteorological service. This surpasses the previous record of 40.5°C set on August 8, 2013, at the Bad Deutsch-Altenburg station. The country experienced an exceptionally hot and dry July with unprecedented heatwaves, drought, and rainfall deficits reaching up to 90% in some areas. Early flowering of cherry blossoms, occurring about 20 days earlier than the average between 1961 and 1991, highlights the impact of global warming on plant cycles. Local resident Nasir Dis described the current weather as a disaster, noting that people prefer staying home rather than dining out. Austria also had its longest heatwave ever recorded in June, with temperatures averaging 1.4°C above previous records.
