==Geography== ===Location=== The city of Klagenfurt is in southern Austria, near the border with Slovenia. It is in the lower middle of Austria, almost the same distance from [[Innsbruck]] in the west as it is from [[Vienna]] in the northeast. Klagenfurt is elevated {{convert|446|m|ft|abbr=off}} [[above mean sea level|above sea level]] and covers an area of {{convert|120.03|km2|sqmi|frac=16|abbr=out}}. It is on the lake [[Wörthersee]] and on the [[Glan (Gurk)|Glan]] river. The city is surrounded by several forest covered hills and mountains, with heights of up to {{convert|1000|m|ft|-2|abbr=on}} (for example [[Ulrichsberg]]). To the south of the city is the [[Karawanken]] [[mountain range]], which separates Carinthia from bordering nations of [[Slovenia]] and [[Italy]]. ===Municipal arrangement=== Klagenfurt is a [[Statutory city (Austria)|statutory city]] of Carinthia, and the administrative seat of the district of [[Klagenfurt-Land]], but is a separate district from Klagenfurt-Land. In fact, their [[Austrian car number plates|licence plates]] are different (K for the city, KL for the district). Klagenfurt is divided itself into 16 districts: {| |- | style="vertical-align:top; width:250px;"| * I–IV Innere Stadt * V St. Veiter Vorstadt * VI Völkermarkter Vorstadt * VII Viktringer Vorstadt * VIII Villacher Vorstadt * IX Annabichl * X St. Peter | || style="vertical-align:top; width:250px;"| * XI St. Ruprecht * XII St. Martin * XIII [[Viktring]] * XIV Wölfnitz * XV Hörtendorf * XVI Welzenegg |} It is further divided into 25 [[Katastralgemeinde]]n. They are: Klagenfurt, Blasendorf, Ehrenthal, Goritschitzen, Großbuch, Großponfeld, Gurlitsch I, Hallegg, Hörtendorf, Kleinbuch, Lendorf, Marolla, Nagra, Neudorf, St. Martin bei Klagenfurt, St. Peter am Karlsberg, St. Peter bei Ebenthal, Sankt Peter am Bichl, St. Ruprecht bei Klagenfurt, Stein, Tentschach, Viktring, Waidmannsdorf, Waltendorf, and Welzenegg. ===Climate=== Klagenfurt has a typical [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dfb'', [[Trewartha climate classification|Trewartha]] ''Dcbo''), with a fair amount of fog throughout the autumn and winter, which occurs in 106 days annually.<ref name =OLDWMO/> Summers are warm and wet, with frequent thunderstorms which happen in 43.8 days on average. Klagenfurt experiences 70.9 days annually with maximum temperature at or above {{convert|25|C|F|abbr=on}}, and 18.8 days in which the maximum temperature reaches {{convert|30|C|F|abbr=on}}.<ref name=NCEI/> The rather cold winters are broken up by occasional warmer periods due to [[foehn wind]] from the Karawanken mountains to the south. On 52.9 days the depth of snow cover is at or above {{convert|1|cm|inches|abbr=on}}, with 10.1 days having more than {{convert|20|cm|inches|abbr=on}} of snow depth.<ref name=NCEI/> The average temperature from 1961 to 1990 was {{convert|7.1|C|F|1}}, while the average temperature in 1991-2020 period is {{convert|9.9|C|F|1}}. {{Weather box |collapsed = yes |location = Klagenfurt (1991–2020
