Weather Tracker: Austria Breaks Heat Records as Japan Braces for Typhoon Dolphin Austria has set a new record for July temperatures, with Wieselburg reaching a scorching 40. 3C (104. 5F).
This feat is remarkable not only because it's just shy of the all time high set in 2003 but also because it highlights the region's vulnerability to climate change.
The extreme heat has been exacerbated by global warming, which is causing temperature records to fall like dominoes across Europe.
