Yesterday, the April temperature record for Salzburg was broken with 31.5°C (ca. 89-90°F) !!!

Today and tomorrow it should be even hotter, maybe 33°C (91-92°F).

Not quite, but Waidhofen an der Ybbs in Lower Austria had 32°C today and gained the record from Salzburg (from yesterday).

I just measured 34°C on my outdoor thermometer. The weather websites only say 27-29°C in my area though. Strange.

We had 30.5° today. Cooling down fast now though even though there's been not a drop of the rainstorm promised for the afternoon. Passed further north it seems.

Weird that it's hotter in the Alps than in Frankfurt. Usually it's the opposite.

Here's a pic I made of my outdoor thermometer just half an hour ago (17.30):



At about 16:00 it showed 34°C. Usually, my outdoor thermometer is very accurate.

34°C would be REALLY hot for early/mid May here.

Is the sensor in the direct sunlight?  That could be affecting the results.

No, it's actually on the backside of the house - in the shadow. Which makes it even stranger. Maybe an accumulation of hot air in this area ... Tongue

Did get that heavyish rain in the end. Just as I went out (and stopped posting here), too.

Yeah, it's raining quite a lot here too right now.

After having 34°C (93°F) five days ago, today in the morning it had -2°C (27°F).

It's called the "Ice Saints":

It snowed down to about 1000 meters, which is about 200m above where I live.

This is a picture I made today from my house, looking up to a snowed in mountain:
