Weather: Persistent Fog in the Lowlands, Sun in the Mountains

According to the Geosphere forecast, southern currents and foehn influences will provide the warmest values of the week, especially in higher altitudes, while it remains mostly cool and cloudy in the lowlands.

Week Starts with Fog

The new workweek brings persistent fog and high fog on Monday in the lowlands, the Rhine Valley, some inner alpine valleys, and the basin areas of the south and southeast. Otherwise, it remains very sunny, but a few harmless cloud fields will pass through the west in the afternoon. Moderate southern foehn develops along the main Alpine ridge, and in the eastern lowlands, a weak to moderate wind blows from the southeast. Elsewhere, it remains weakly windy. Early temperatures range between minus ten and plus two degrees, with daily highs between zero and twelve degrees, depending on fog and sunshine.

Tuesday starts with fog, high fog, and some drizzle in the lowlands of the north, east, and southeast. The fog fields are not as persistent as before and can clear regionally during the day. In the rest of the country, numerous cloud fields move across the sky, reaching the Eastern Alps with a southern current. The cloud cover is of varying intensity, so the sun only appears in phases. The wind blows mostly weak to moderate from east to south, with partly lively southern foehn along the main Alpine ridge. Early temperatures range from minus eight to plus three degrees, with daily highs, depending on fog, sun, and foehn, between zero and 15 degrees. It is warmest in the higher altitudes with foehn.

Clouds Predominate

South of the main Alpine ridge, in the southeast, as well as in the north and east, clouds often predominate on Wednesday, apart from brief clearings. Initially, there are also some fog and high fog fields in lower areas, and particularly south of the main Alpine ridge, there may be brief, light rain locally. The snow line is between 1,800 and 2,000 meters above sea level. The most sunny intervals are expected north of the mountain ranges. The wind blows weak to moderate from southeast to west. Early temperatures range between minus three and plus four degrees, with daily highs mostly between four and eleven degrees.

Thursday: In the lowlands of the north, east, and southeast, persistent fog fields are often expected below 400 to 700 meters, with the fog line even higher in the south. Otherwise, sunshine predominates. The wind comes weak to moderate from southeast to southwest. Early temperatures: minus four to plus two degrees, daily highs in fog areas: two to five degrees, otherwise six to eleven degrees.

On Friday, it remains cloudy all day in the basin areas due to fog and high fog, with an upper limit of 600 to 1,000 meters. Above and outside the fog zones, the sun often shines during the day. The wind blows weak to moderate from east to south. Early temperatures range from minus five to plus three degrees, with daily highs in fog zones two to six degrees, otherwise seven to twelve degrees.
