There are only a few days left until the Pentecost weekend and for some children the first night in a tent. Most Pentecost camps take place in dry and early summer weather. Especially in the mountains, a downpour cannot be ruled out.
A high pressure area will build up north of Switzerland over the course of Thursday. This is expected to last up to and including Pentecost. What does this mean for our weather?
High fog-like clouds loosen up in the course of Friday and turn into small cumulus clouds. The construction of the tent camp on Friday evening therefore takes place almost everywhere in the dry. Especially in parts of the foothills of the Alps, a short shower cannot be ruled out. With a moderate bise, the highs on Friday will be around 22 degrees.
Legend:
Moats around the tents are not necessary in most places. A few showers or thunderstorms are expected in the foothills of the Alps and on the northern slopes of the Alps.
Mostly sunny and dry
On Saturday and Pentecost Sunday we are still in a weak to moderate gust current, which ensures mostly dry conditions. This means that there are mostly sunny days with highs of between 21 and 24 degrees, while the nights cool down to 11 to 8 degrees. Winter clothes, gloves and a hat do not have to be packed.
Over the mountains in particular, cumulus clouds form during the course of the day. This will result in occasional showers or thunderstorms. In the lowlands, on the other hand, it will remain dry in most places. Moats around the tents to prevent rain from getting in are only necessary in the mountain regions, and not everywhere there either.
Legend:
Some of the Pentecost camps take place when the weather is cloudless.
Cold front on Whit Monday?
The high pressure weather is expected to continue on Whit Monday and there will be no change in the weather. Only a few outliers in the weather models indicate a cold front with widespread downpours that would reach us during the day. Thus, the dismantled tents would only have to be hung up and dried with pitch after the Pentecost camp.
Legend:
A cold front, which makes everything wet during mining, is not completely impossible, but unlikely.
