There have already been the first gusts of storm and hurricane in the mountains. 123 km / h were measured on the Säntis, 105 km / h on the Moléson and 103 km / h on the Titlis. A storm low called “Klaus” brings warm air to Switzerland today, Thursday, with increasingly stormy south-westerly winds. A significant cooling was then predicted for the evening.

Sun, wind, rain, snow

With Westföhn, among other things, very mild 16 to 18 degrees are to be expected in Thun, said Meteocentrale. It won’t be that warm until the end of March. In the evening a cold front brings cooling. In the windy and changeable westerly wind weather it only gets locally wet during the day, in the evening heavy rain comes up, according to Meteonews. In between longer sunny phases, thick clouds and occasional showers passed through. The peak of the storm is expected in the evening and in the first half of the night when the cold front passes through. Snow falls from 600 to 800 meters.

The good news for allergy sufferers: With the passage of the storm depression “Klaus”, the pollen concentration of the alder falls significantly on Thursday afternoon, according to Meteo-Switzerland.
