November 2022 hardly offered typical November weather. For the most part, there were no days of frost and long periods of high pressure with stubborn fog over the lowlands. This means that the month is 1 to almost 3 degrees too warm and, despite an above-average number of rainy days in many places, too dry.

Untypical November

Normally, November is known as “Fog Month”. Fog or high fog that lingers tenaciously as a gray blanket over the lowlands for several days, keeping out the sunny and mild weather that prevails overhead.

This year, November presented itself rather atypically. Even if some fog was able to form, it didn’t last long. Especially in the second half of the month, low pressure areas and fronts brought a lot of dynamics to our weather. There were 50% more rainy days on the north side of the Alps than the norm (1991 – 2020), but the amount of precipitation in German-speaking Switzerland was below average. Only 20 to 40% of the normal November rain fell on the south side of the Alps. Most fell there within two days.

After a very mild October, November began with no snow up to high altitudes. That changed in the first week of November, when there was fresh snow down to 1200 m. But this “winter mezzo” did not last long. Around St. Martin’s Day on November 11th, a strong high brought the so-called Martini summer with exceptionally mild air. The zero degree limit climbed up to 3800 m and on the 2100 m high Pilatus the temperature climbed to almost 12 degrees.
