Austria
(German: Österreich) is a land-locked alpine country
in Central Europe bordering with Switzerland and Liechtenstein
to the west, Germany and Czech Republic to the north,
Slovakia and Hungary to the east and Slovenia and Italy
to the south.
Climate
in Austria
Austria has a temperate continental climate. Summers last from early
June to mid-September and can be hot in some years and rainy in others.
Day-time temperatures in July and August are around 25° C (77° F),
but can often reach 35° C (95° F). Winters are cold in the
lowlands and very harsh in the Alpine region with temperatures often
dropping below -10° C (14° F). Winters last from December to
March (longer at higher altitudes). In the Alpine region large temperature
fluctuations occur all year round and nights are chilly even in high
summer. The northern Alps are generally a lot wetter than the rest
of the country. The South East (Styria and Carinthia) is dry and sunny.
The area around Vienna often experiences strong easterly winds.
Electricity

Electricity is supplied at 220 to 230V 50Hz. Outlets are the European
standard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" or "Schuko" or

Generally speaking, U.S. and Canadian travelers should pack an adapter
for these outlets if they plan to use North American electrical equipment
in Austria.
