SRF NewsState / PublicCenterFactual 90Objective 9511 days ago Weather change Rain expected from Sunday Little relief for droughtThe current heatwave in Switzerland continues, with temperatures reaching up to 36 degrees Celsius on Friday along the northern side of the Alps. However, a significant weather change is expected by Sunday, bringing cooler and moister air from the north. This increase in moisture raises the likelihood of thunderstorms and localized heavy rain showers, particularly in mountainous regions and the lowlands. Despite this, the rainfall is unlikely to alleviate the prolonged drought experienced over previous summer months, as most of the water would run off rather than be absorbed into the dry soil. The models predict a return to more typical August temperatures, ranging between 23 and 26 degrees Celsius, lasting through the end of next week.
