Current situation and outlook
The weather is rather dull, so we'll keep it brief. High pressure will ensure plenty of sunshine more or less across the entire Alpine region. The cyclonic influence in the south-east will bring in relatively cool air from the NE, so that temperatures will be spring-like but not yet summer-like. Given the course of winter so far, this is not a matter of course! Towards the weekend, there are signs of more unsettled weather, especially in the south, as the low in the SE gains influence. However, this is not particularly exciting at the moment. At the beginning of the coming week, a cold air outbreak in the east with snow down to low altitudes is a possibility, but this is still very shaky.
What looks like quite nice touring weather in this country with often clear, cold nights is far less pleasant if you have to leave home in a hurry and wait at border fences to get in. In addition to the well-known, large aid organizations, there are also smaller, private initiatives that are currently transporting outdoor equipment in particular (sleeping bags, headlamps, tents, ...) relatively directly to the Ukrainian border region - in Austria, for example: "Aktion Bergsportler helfen der Ukraine".
