Swiss Weather!

Clouding over a little bit more here, but doesn’t look look getting any rain atm.

Same here, we just had an Apero on the terrasse.

I don’t remember seeing danger level 5/5 due to rainfall on meteosuisse. Disentis, Splüngenpass, Silvaplana. The red zone is the north side of the Alps where water flows into the Rhine river.

Also, alert level 4/5 for Alto Ticino, St. Moritz, Laax.

Hope this alert is reaching all the tourists over there, farmers have moved their cattle to a safe place and mountain climbers are back down from the peaks.

I don’t want to think about remnants of a hurricane that crossed the Atlantic twice, warm rainfall, permafrost and glaciers. I better get a beer or two.

Nothing in the news about Ticino.

Anyway, Mosogno a village upstream of Locarno, had 204 mm of rainfall in the last 24h. Peak intensity 30mm from 8h00 to 9h00 earlier today.

Turned into a nice day after some rain this morning. Rained on and off all yesterday. Supposed to be dry tomorrow before we get more rain here starting Monday.

Thank goodness, it looks like the heatwaves have finally ended. More rain overnight and into today and more forecast over the coming days. Mostly pleasant low to mid-20’sC temps wise.

Just got hit with very strong winds and heavy rain and even a bit of hail. Haven’t seen anything like that for years.

Tomato plant is now horizontal. :frowning:

Yeah, we had some heavy rain and winds a little while ago. Had to shut the windows as the wind was blowing the rain in.

Wow, that was some rain and thunder here

Same here.

Your weather is coming here late tonight…heavy rain expected. I got many of the hazelnuts off the tree in anticipation; a record crop!

Had thunder, lightning and a fair amount of rain recently.

Galileo, Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico…

That was fortuitous. It was our commune’s brocante yesterday and today. Finished at 4pm today, by 5.15pm it was chucking it down with rain.

A few of Switzerland’s passes are now closed due to snow.

Whether they re-open again before Spring is anyone’s guess. Once they stop clearing the snow, it will stay there until the Spring melt.

If so, then it’s really early this year compared with last year.
Watch out for icy roads if going up into the mountains!

I don’t know what you mean, it’s gloriously sunny here.

Nah, Indian summer is coming.

And we need a drop in temps to get the trees started on their autumn beauty.

Rain, rain and more rain on the way it looks like.


My plants will appreciate it since I’m away atm so they haven’t been watered since it last rained in our area of Switzerland.
