I'm up in the alps, it sucks. So little snow. Had rain at 1800m a couple days ago.

Spring-like temperatures mean Switzerland is marking its warmest turn of the year since measurements began.

New Year’s Eve saw temperatures rise to 20°C in canton Jura. That is 3.7°C more than in 1961, when the warmest New Year's day since measurements began was recorded.

As the weather service Meteonews announced on Saturday, New Year's Eve 2022 in Delsberg, the Jura cantonal capital, also caused the second highest temperature ever measured in December. The small town experienced 23.6 °C in 1989.

Temperatures that are high for the time of year were also measured on Saturday in in Basel-Binningen (16.7 °), St. Gallen (15.1°C) and Adelboden BE (15.5°C).

The weather service had already warned of possible high temperature records on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in several parts of Switzerland. It blames warm air from the subtropics for the unseasonably warm weather.

Climate change in effect. Warmer temperature mean stress on glacier and snow at the slope of mountain ready to let go its force.

Washington DC currently 55F/13C. Switzerland is warmer than DC?

Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess.

No worries, that's not a problem. People usually don't have air conditioning in Switzerland and Germany.

(The "not a problem" is sarcasm... the power bill won't suck but people will be forced to suffer in the best case and die in the worst case.)
