Machine translation Read Antoine's original, in French →

Anticyclone

After the passage of this Friday's disturbance, the anticyclone positioned over Ireland will bring the pressure back up over our country. Saturday looks sunny with still a few cloud remnants clinging to the terrain in the morning. These cloud banks should turn into cumulus.

Wind

The wind will be from the West sector and will be light to moderate. We're talking 10 to 25 km/h for the 2000-3000 metre layer.

Thermals

The thermal ceiling should be higher than 3000 metres.

Clothes

Much cooler temperature. First one who complains about the cold pays for coffee! 0°C isotherm going from 2800 to 3500 metres. Crêt-du-Midi between 7 and 10°C Chalais between 12 and 24°C

Dangers

I see two dangers (well... sometimes I'm blind) - The valley wind (there's a pressure diff. of 6 hPa between Zurich and Lugano). - The West wind which could strengthen.

Info

- TMA Sion inactive, but be careful because that doesn't mean there are no planes. - The cable car from Chalais-Vercorin is out of service until early December.
