Deutsch

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
Die Wetterlage ändert sich kaum, mit einer schwachen nordwestlichen Anströmung gelangt teils labile Luft Richtung Alpen.
Vorhersage für heute
Der Tag verläuft in den meisten Landesteilen recht sonnig, auch wenn bereits am Vormittag Wolkenfelder durchziehen. Aus den Quellwolken kommt es im Laufe des Nachmittags und am Abend zu ein paar gewittrigen Schauern.
Nach Frühwerten zwischen 9° und 17° steigen die Temperaturen tagsüber auf 23° bis 31°.
