From 1951 to 2025, the daily maximum in Austria changed by +0.47 C per decade (+0.84 F) (95 percent interval +0.38 to +0.56 C) and the daily minimum by +0.33 C per decade (+0.60 F) (95 percent interval +0.26 to +0.41 C), from 6 stations.
The daily maximum rose faster, by 0.14 C per decade more than the daily minimum; the two intervals overlap, so the data do not separate them.
The day-night range (daily maximum minus daily minimum) changed by +0.14 C per decade (95 percent interval +0.10 to +0.18 C), which means the range widened.
Trends per decade
| Measure | Trend per decade (C) | 95% interval (C) | Years | Stations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily maximum | +0.47 | +0.38 to +0.56 | 1951 to 2025 | 6 |
| Daily minimum | +0.33 | +0.26 to +0.41 | 1951 to 2025 | 6 |
| Day-night range (maximum minus minimum) | +0.14 | +0.10 to +0.18 | 1951 to 2025 | 6 |
The day-night range is the daily maximum minus the daily minimum, so a falling range means the minimum rose by more than the maximum. Intervals allow for year to year persistence in the series.
Heavy Rain and Dry Spells by Decade: Austria
6 stations in the annual rain series- In Austria, annual rain at 6 stations is shown as a percent difference from each station's own 1961-1990 mean, for 74 years from 1951 to 2025.
- The trend in annual rain is +1.1 percent per decade (95 percent interval -0.1 to +2.3), fitted to 74 years from 1951 to 2025. The interval includes zero, so the series does not separate a trend from year to year variation.

The annual rain series uses stations with at least 50 complete years since 1951 and a 1961-1990 baseline. The decade charts use fixed sets of stations, the same in every decade from the 1960s. A dry day has less than 1 mm (0.04 in) of rain.

A run belongs to the year it started in, even when it ran on into the next year. A station appears once per list, with its longest run in a complete year. Dry and wet spells are the longest run within a year. Lists use complete years only, so a long run in a year with gaps in the record is not counted.
