Weather Alert: Know the Weather Forecast
It may seem not important to you in general, but knowing the weather before you start traveling to your place of destination is as important as knowing how to enjoy your trip.
The weather in the Alps: anything is possible
Nowhere the weather is more changeable than in the mountains. The Swiss Alps are the border between the cooler Northern European climate and the warmer Southern European climate. Therefore it often forms the separation between different kinds of weather. At the same time, cooler and warmer types of weather can be found in Switzerland.
At a regional level this is a known phenomenon too. While the sun is shining in one valley it may be raining at the other side of the mountain. The weather may also clear up very fast. A cloudy, drizzly morning does not necessarily have to be a sign for a full day of bad weather. There may be a cloudless sky within the hour. It goes the other way round as well, and on a beautiful day it may suddenly become cloudy and rainy. This certainly is something to take into account.
How to prepare
You'd best check the weather forecast on the evening before you have planned to do a trip. Double check the next morning. The local forecast, specifically for the town or region you wish to visit, may provide more details. Regardless of the predictions, the weather may change really quickly and dramatic differences between one valley and the next are no exception. Therefore it is best to be prepared for weather variations.
