SRF NewsState / PublicCenterFactual 98Objective 959 days agoThe article discusses upcoming autumn weather changes in Switzerland, noting a significant cooling trend and increased precipitation over the weekend. A cold front is expected to arrive on Saturday, leading to lower temperatures across the country. While the lowlands will experience cloudy conditions and rain, the Alps and southern slopes will initially remain sunny and dry. However, by Sunday night, snowfall lines will drop to around 1500 meters on the northern side of the Alps, while heavy rainfall in the south could cause localized cooling effects. This phenomenon, known as adiabatic cooling, may lead to snowfall at lower elevations, such as in the Matter Valley, where snowflakes could appear down to approximately 1700 meters. By Monday, up to a meter of new snow could accumulate above 2300 meters in southern Valais.

On Wednesday, dense clouds, wind, and widespread rain are expected, along with a drop in temperature. The snow line is falling, reaching around 1200 meters by Thursday morning, though significant snowfall is limited to higher elevations above 2000 meters, where 5 to 30 centimeters of new snow are forecasted. However, this does not constitute a true winter arrival, as flat areas are unlikely to see snowy or icy road conditions. Residents in lower areas who frequently travel early in the morning or at higher altitudes are advised to gradually switch to winter tires when temperatures fall below seven degrees. On Thursday, the weather is expected to improve with more sunshine, but from Friday through Sunday, the weather will become more variable again with fluctuating snow lines.
