Villach sits in a valley where the Drau River meets several Alpine side valleys, a setting that channels moist air and produces some of the higher rainfall totals in Carinthia, especially during the warm season when convective storms build over the surrounding ridges. GeoSphere Austria radar covers this southern valley district.
