Tropischer Frühstart

Temperaturrekord für den Monat April 2024 - Foto: stock.adobe.com/magann

Der erste "Tropentag" im April an der Station Graz-Universität

An der Klimastation Graz-Universität werden seit 1894 Extremtemperaturen aufgezeichnet.

Der bisherige Temperaturrekord für den Monat April stammt mit 28.8 °C aus dem Jahr 2012. Am 14. April 2024 wurde dieser Wert mit 30.5 °C nicht nur deutlich überboten, dieser Tag war somit auch ein "Tropentag" bzw. "Heißer Tag".

Solche Tage - an denen die Maximumstemperatur 30.0 °C erreicht oder überschreitet - sind in den meisten Jahren auf den meteorologischen Sommer (Juni - August) beschränkt, der bisherige Spitzenreiter (6. Mai) stammt aus dem "Jahrhundertsommer" 2003.

Die erste Aprilhälfte 2024 war generell mehr als 6 °C wärmer als im Mittel der Jahre 1991- 2020, an 7 von 14 Tagen wurden neue Tagesrekorde gemessen. Nach diesem "Frühstart" des Hochsommers, wird sich allerdings auch der angekündigte Temperatursturz in den nächsten Tagen besonders empfindlich bemerkbar machen.
