Under the slogan “Beat the Heat”, the public transport company Wiener Linien planned an after-work event at Karlsplatz in Vienna. But the weather exceeded the event’s declared goal. The heat is defeated, the rain has won, the party is cancelled.
From 3 p.m. to midnight on Friday, Viennese could have recovered from the “heat” among the Otto Wagner pavilions on Karlsplatz. But the deck chair turned into an umbrella. Artificial fog became rain. Whether it was the weather or the climate that was responsible?
The City of Vienna company, which stands for climate-friendly mobility for a liveable city, now had to cancel the event “with a heavy heart”. The weather forecast is simply too bad.
