Weather report

Indian summer will persist until the middle of next week. After that, a more changeable and significantly colder spell of westerly weather is on the horizon. For the time being, however, a very different air mass is still lingering over us. This is still significantly too warm for the time of year and remains unstable in its stratification. As a result, there will still be a mix of clouds and sunshine, not only at the weekend but also at the start of the new week. Yet despite these clouds, the weather will generally be pleasant and largely stable. There may be isolated, time-of-day-dependent rain showers, particularly towards the northern edge of the Alps. Next Tuesday and Wednesday will treat us once again to glorious sunshine against a partly cloudless sky. Thursday will then herald a change in the weather with the arrival of a cold front. Following this, the snow line is likely to drop well below 2,000 metres.
