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