DST on weekends only on clock
The strong wind accompanies us through the entire weekend. On Saturday there will be “April weather” in the north: sun, clouds and showers alternate again and again. Rain or snow will continue to fall on Sunday, but the sun will shine less often than on Saturday. The snow line is between 1000 and 1500 m at the weekend. The temperatures are also falling, there are still around 12 degrees at the weekend in the lowlands. It remains much milder in Ticino, where the sun often shines.

Man and nature have to go through this: a cold phase follows.

«Wintermezzo» on Monday
At the beginning of the new week, arctic cold air flows towards Switzerland. This means that there is snow again at low altitudes, especially in the foothills of the Alps and on the northern slopes of the Alps. A portion of fresh snow is possible on the mountains in these regions, it could be around 30 cm. It is less clear whether there will also be enough snow in the lowlands, since it could already dry out when the cold air arrives. In the night on Tuesday, widespread frost is to be expected with polar air.
