<h1>Weather Forecasts</h1>
<p>The quickest weather online giving an idea of the intensity of the rain over the next few days 
is <a href="https://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Loser-mountain/forecasts/1838">mountain weather</a>. This also has
temperature predictions for the height of the Loser itself at 1838m - 
fortuitously this is about 20m below top camp at Steinbruckhohle.
<p>Perhaps better is the <a href="https://www.bergfex.com/sommer/bad-aussee/wetter/">Austrian forecast for Bad Aussee</a> - for the day and the next week.

<p>Local weather forecasts appear on the radio (in German, of course).  In the
winter, snow reports can be found (we presume). There is a local forecast on
the Bad Aussee tourist office site, <a
href="https://www.badaussee.at/">https://www.badaussee.at/</a>.  You can phone
for a forecast (also in German) or you can try the Tourist Office in Bad Aussee
(no idea if they post a bulletin in the window - we don't seem to have
tried).</p>

<p>But for an up to the minute (maybe) idea of the weather <b>right now</b>, 
see the <a
href="http://www.tagesbild.at/">Grundlsee Photo of the
Day</a> or 
try the <a href="https://www.skiresort.info/ski-resort/loser-altaussee/webcams/">Loser
WebCams</a> - giving current views of several places around the Loser ski area. Caution!
These could induce an irresistible desire to drop everything and travel to
Austria immediately!</p>
<h3>Sunrise and sunset</h3>
See <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/@7873491">Bad Aussee location</a> for 
times of sunrise and sunset in the expo area.
There are over 15 hours of daylight during the expo; though clouds and rain mean that this is effectively much less. 
(This page also tells you when the moon is up - if you are planning a night-time jaunt across the plateau - 
and which planets are visible.)

<h2>Flood Risks</h2>
<p>See <a href="flooding.html">Flood-Risk Caves</a> for places to be aware of.
