The Indian summer continues with record heat in the mountains

On Saturday, it was 11.9 degrees at Col Grand-Saint-Bernard (2472 meters). According to MeteoSwiss, it has never been so hot in this place and at this time of year. Furthermore, the zero degree isotherm above Payerne was very high, almost summery we would say, at 4284 meters, a new record for November 1.

The coming week promises to be the same clemency under long-lasting high pressure. Unfortunately, on the Plateau, “gray” weather has set in. Fog and stratus arrive with a peak around 800 m, dissipating regionally in the afternoon. Above and elsewhere, it will be generally sunny, despite a few veils of high clouds,” notes MétéoSwiss.

Temperatures also tend to drop with a low of 6 degrees in the morning on the Plateau (2 degrees in Valais), then maximums of 13 degrees, up to 16 degrees in Valais in the afternoon.

This anticyclonic situation will last all week. It could continue the next day, although in an increasingly cooler atmosphere.
