Stormy for the past few days
Several storms have swept over Europe in the past few days. After “Ylenia”, hurricane “Zeynep” raged in Great Britain on Friday and then moved over the Benelux countries and northern Germany. Internationally, the hurricane is known as “Eunice”. In southern England, at 196 km/h, it led to what was provisionally the strongest gust ever measured in England. Switzerland was significantly less affected by “Zeynep”. But also in Switzerland there were gusts of 60 to around 90 km/h in the lowlands on Saturday night. In the mountains, the strongest gust was measured at 117 km/h on the Säntis.
