How often does it rain in Vienna?
Vienna records around 656mm of rain a year, spread across about 116 days — roughly 32% of all days, or 10 days in an average month. That puts Vienna mid-pack: rain interrupts roughly one run in three, so it pays to check the hourly forecast before a long run, but you will not be running in waterproofs week after week.
The wettest month is September, averaging 84mm across about 9 rainy days. The driest is March, with 31mm over roughly 7 days. Average lows in January drop to -1.5°C, cold enough that gloves, a headband and a thermal base layer make a real difference on early runs. Summer highs peak around 27.5°C in July, comfortable for most daytime running.
Those are ten-year averages, not a forecast. What actually matters on the day is the next twelve hours — which is what the live verdict and hourly strip at the top of this page are for.
