Live official weather warnings for Hallstatt from GeoSphere Austria — thunderstorms, rain, snow, ice and heat — plus the wind right now and where official local alerts actually come from.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Hallstatt and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Live official weather warnings for the village — thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow, ice, heat — read straight from GeoSphere Austria, the national weather service. Hallstatt sits wedged between a cliff face and the lake with one road in and out, so weather that would be a footnote elsewhere is worth knowing about here.
As of Fri 10 July at 0:21.
Enhanced heat stress can be expected.
Light air (about 4 km/h, gusts to 6), out of the east.
Strongest gusts forecast over the next 24 hours: about 14 km/h. Wind words follow the Beaufort scale. This is a weather model’s forecast for the hour, not a measurement — exposed ground above town will see more.
Where official alerts actually come from
Rockfall off the cliffs above the village has been documented since 1652, the Mühlbach flooded through the village in 2013, and heavy rain matters more in a place with one road in than almost anywhere else. A warning here is worth taking seriously.
GeoSphere issues these warnings per municipality for the settled area. High-alpine terrain — the Dachstein, the Salzberg trails above the village — is not covered by municipal warnings, so check a mountain forecast before going up, whatever this page says.
