weather forecast

Throughout the coming week, the Alpine region will be under the influence of a very variable south-westerly to westerly flow, which will be mild for the most part but will also turn cooler at times. Heavy cloud cover will often dominate the sky, with the sun only making brief appearances. This will be reinforced by repeated, increasingly strong southerly foehn effects. Generally, the wind will remain strong throughout, underpinning the highly changeable nature of the weather. Time and again, we will see the trailing edges of Atlantic weather systems bringing some precipitation, with the heaviest rainfall mostly concentrated on the western leeward slopes of the mountains. Temperatures will generally remain on the cool, autumnal side, although the snow line may still fluctuate significantly from time to time. The weather is set to take on a somewhat early-winter feel as we approach next weekend.
