The Bioclimate of St. Wolfgang

Extract from the ZAMG report from 2013

Radiation - sun - clouds

In St. Wolfgang there are much more favorable tanning, radiation and cloudy conditions in autumn and winter than in the lowlands outside of the Alps. In general, long-lasting high fog situations such as rarely in the greater Linz or Vienna area ...

The duration of sunshine has increased slightly compared to the previous report, significantly in the months of April, June, October and December ...

Air temperature and humidity

The location of St. Wolfgang at around 550 - 1800 m above sea level can be described as good in terms of air temperature and humidity. The close proximity to Wolfgangsee leads to a dampening of the air temperature during the day, while in summer the heat and humidity are significantly reduced compared to Linz or the lowlands of Eastern Austria. Together with the lack of long periods of high humidity and the low frequency of winter inversions, this means that it is well suited as a climatic health resort ...

Wind

Due to the orography of the spa area, prolonged air stagnation is not to be expected. Calm occurs on average in less than 2% of all hours, on the other hand, high wind speeds in the spa area are very rare.

Precipitation

... Extreme rainfall is rare. The distribution of the precipitation times is sufficiently favorable, so that a frequent stay in the open air, a requirement of the health resort law, is easily possible….

Air chemistry

… The SO² pollution is also below the limit values ​​for climatic health resorts, both for the daily and half-hourly mean values.


For St. Wolfgang, from a bioclimatic point of view, the criteria for maintaining the health resort rating are met.
