Switzerland's Weather: A Week of Contrasts

Published: 2024-09-23

Switzerland is set to experience a mix of weather conditions this week, with a predominantly wet start.

Monday and Tuesday will see cloudy skies and scattered showers, with temperatures ranging from 16 to 20 degrees Celsius.

However, a brief respite is expected midweek as the sun makes an appearance on Wednesday, particularly in the Alps where the Föhn wind will blow.

Despite this sunny interlude, clouds will increase by the afternoon, leading to rain overnight into Thursday.

Thursday is forecasted to be particularly wet and windy, especially in mountainous regions.

As the week progresses, the weather will improve slightly, with Friday offering some sunshine amidst possible showers.

By the weekend, temperatures are expected to rise slightly above 20 degrees, providing a short-lived break from the rain before it returns at the start of the following week.
