Immense Temperaturgegensätze

by MeteoNews AG

Während man im Flachland im Nebel bei kaum 0 Grad im dicken Wollpullover frieren musste, konnte man in leicht erhöhten Lagen bei stellenweise frühlingshaften 17 Grad gar im T-Shirt nach draussen gehen! Zwar wurden keine neuen Rekorde aufgestellt, dennoch sind diese enormen Temperaturunterschiede nicht von alltäglicher Natur.

Still cool in the north until the middle of next week

The current cool and unsettled phase with recurring showers will continue in the north until around the middle of next week, with maximum temperatures mostly reaching only 7 to 10 degrees and snow often falling from 500 to 1000 meters. In the south, it will be partly to quite sunny and much milder until Sunday, but then, as in the north, it is likely to be unsettled and partly wet, especially on Monday, until the middle of the week. This will further reduce the temperature surplus in April, which has already dropped significantly compared to mid-month.

An ever earlier spring – good or bad? Increased frost risk!

One of the mildest winters on record and the exceptionally mild spring so far are having an impact on nature: as has often been the case in recent years, it has awoken very early and is currently two to four weeks ahead of the rest of the year. Winters are becoming milder and milder as a result of climate change, which means that nature is waking up earlier and earlier and the growing season is being extended. This has a variety of effects, both positive and negative. In particular, the risk of late frosts causing damage is increasing. The next few days will be tricky in this respect.

The first half of April was almost 5 degrees too warm!

The first half of April was exceptionally warm, with an excess of almost 5 degrees over the whole of Switzerland! There were also an unusually large number of summer days and even all-time April temperature records in some places. There were big differences in terms of precipitation: in the south it was sometimes far too wet, on the Swiss Plateau on the other hand, it was usually far too dry. The duration of sunshine was roughly within the norm.

With High Peter return of warmth – temporarily...

From Thursday to Sunday, sunny and increasingly warmer weather will set in in the area of influence of high pressure system Peter. At the weekend, it will be 23 to 25 degrees in the north and 26 to 27 degrees in the south, already warm again in early summer. In the coming week, it will be changeable, partly windy and increasingly cooler until the middle of the week, with first a westerly and then a northerly flow in the north. In addition, it will often be wet, especially along the Alps, with increasing northern congestion and the snow line dropping below 1000 meters by the middle of the week. The weather will also be changeable and windy next Monday for Sechseläuten in Zurich. In the south, on the other hand, the weather will be quite sunny and still warm from Tuesday with a northerly foehn.

Together with 2019/2020, mildest winter since start of measurements!

The meteorological winter that ended yesterday (December to February) was around 2.7 degrees too mild compared to the long-term average from 1991 to 2020. This makes the winter of 2023/2024, together with the winter of 2019/2020, the mildest since measurements began in 1864. With the exception of February, there was too much precipitation, with December in particular being significantly too wet. Finally, the sun shone less frequently than normal in every winter month, with February in particular being far too cloudy.

Regionally very different Easter weather

Over Easter, the weather in Switzerland varies greatly from region to region: The friendliest and warmest weather will be from Good Friday to Easter Sunday with partly stormy foehn winds in the Alpine valleys in the east, while the worst and coolest with partly heavy precipitation will be in the south. The west is in between with changeable and occasionally wet weather. Widespread precipitation is to be expected on Easter Monday.

Stormy start to November with storm Ciarán in Western Europe

Tomorrow Wednesday, a big storm named Ciarán will form over the Atlantic under rapid strengthening, which will subsequently move over southern England to the North Sea during the night on Thursday and on Thursday, bringing gale-force winds of up to about 150 km/h in parts, especially in southern England and northern France, and here especially in Brittany. Associated with this are also in the western English Channel and on the west coast of France also high waves of over 10 meters in places.

Unspectacular at first, potentially dangerous in the middle of the week!

In the Swiss Plateau, there will be room for sunshine between the clouds today, but along the Alps it will be very cloudy – and there will be some snow in places. Tomorrow, an intermediate high will ensure fairly sunny conditions. Things will get exciting on Wednesday – a warm front is likely to create good conditions for dangerous freezing rain in parts of the Swiss Plateau.
