Regular weather events are events that occur at certain times of the year when temperature, precipitation or sunshine duration can deviate from the normal annual cycle. The climate of Switzerland is characterised by a number of regularly occurring weather patterns and other routinely occurring phenomena. These range from snowfall during spring, a cold snap in June, to fog and Indian summer (or “old wives’ summer”) in autumn. The weather service MeteoSwiss is analysing these events and putting them into longer-term climatological context.
In addition to these regularly occurring weather events, there are other occasions in the Swiss calendar when weather patterns receive special attention. These days are also analysed from a climatological perspective by MeteoSwiss.
