Antoine's Forecast

Saturday, July 18

Machine translation Read Antoine's original, in French →

Instability

Between a scorching air mass over the Mediterranean and a cold pool (low) over Scandinavia, the tendency is towards storms even if they should be a bit less marked than these last days. Saturday will be a sunny day with cloud developments and cumulus that could overdevelop.

Wind

The wind will be from the West sector and forecast weak to moderate. (Careful because moderate can mean up to 50 km/h) For the 2000-3000 metre layer in the Vercorin region, we're talking 20 to 40 km/h

Thermal

Not great because chopped up by the wind

Clothes

A bit less hot than these last days. (Not exactly hard to beat!)

Dangers

The danger for this day will be: - Instability (big cumulus) - The wind which will be strong and a foehn from the North poking its nose in So what do we do? Coffee or flight?

Info

- TMA Sion inactive, but careful because that doesn't mean there are no planes. - The Vercorin - Crêt-du-Midi cable car is open
