Austria records its highest temperature ever measured as a severe heat wave drives readings above the 40°C mark. Channel NewsAsia reports that Austria reaches an all-time high of 41°C, surpassing the previous national record of 40.5°C set in 2013. Jowhar.com says the new peak is 40.8°C, with the temperature measured in Stammersdorf on the eastern edge of Vienna. Both accounts indicate that the record temperature is measured by Austria’s national weather service, GeoSphere Austria, which issues official statements on extreme readings. The new measurements rewrite the country’s temperature history by eclipsing the earlier 2013 record. While the sources differ on the exact figure—41°C versus 40.8°C—they agree on the core point that Austria sets a new national all-time temperature record during the current extreme heat period. The reports also place the measurement in Vienna’s Stammersdorf area, linking the record to local conditions within the capital region.
