Studio Mut ist ein Graphic Design und Corporate Design Studio in Bozen, Südtirol. Wir gestalten Corporate Designs, Magazine, Bücher und Websites für Kunden aus Kunst, Kultur und Wirtschaft. Unsere Projekte lösen Probleme, im besten Fall mit reduzierter aber schlagkräftiger Ästhetik. Man sagt, unsere Arbeiten seien spielerisch – und gleichzeitig ernsthaft. Dieses ungewöhnliche Gleichgewicht versuchen wir zu halten.

Todays weather at Oswaldweg, Bolzano
Allgemeine Wetterlage
Mit einer nordwestlichen Höhenströmung stauen sich feuchte Luftmassen an den Alpen. Die Alpensüdseite ist durch den Föhn wetterbegünstigt.
Vorhersage für heute
Im Norden Südtirols gibt es die meisten Wolken und am Alpenhauptkamm schneit es zeitweise leicht. Richtung Süden lockern die Wolken mit Nordföhn auf und es überwiegt der Sonnenschein.
Die Temperaturen steigen am Nachmittag auf 6° bis 17°.
