“Gray at the bottom, blue at the top”, this diagram will also accompany us this week. The reason is a powerful and vast anticyclone that extends over a large part of Europe. In the lower levels there is moist and cool air, while above it is dry and mild – a classic inversion weather situation.
Soup of fog or sun
Apart from these two elements, there is hardly any alternative in terms of weather this week again! For those who want to escape the gray, the fog ceiling is important. It will vary slightly during the week.
Today Monday, it is located around 900 meters. In the afternoon, the stratus will only partially dissipate – often the weather will remain gloomy until the evening. The situation is more favorable in the northwest of Switzerland, where the sun will be more present in the afternoon. Above the fog there is pure sunshine, the temperatures are also very pleasant. At 2000 meters, we reach up to 13 degrees, the zero isotherm is between 4000 and 4100 meters.

Located at around 800 meters, the upper boundary of the fog will be a shade lower and the chances of partial dissipation will also increase slightly. Above and outside the fog, the weather will remain sunny and the sky will be blue, except for a few patches of cloud. In the mountains, temperatures will drop but remain mild. At 2000 meters, it will be 9 to 10 degrees, the zero degree isotherm will be between 3100 and 3300 meters.

Wednesday also, the fog will have an upper limit of 800 to 900 meters, but due to a little wind it will still rise to more than 1000 meters during the day. THURSDAYyou will have to climb to around 1300 meters before you can enjoy the view of the sea of fog.
Friday and Saturday800 to 1000 meters will be enough again, and Sundaythe upper limit will increase again according to current forecasts. Beyond that, not much will happen! In the mountains, the weather will remain sunny and mild for the season, with the zero degree isotherm remaining at altitudes close to or slightly above 3000 meters.
