Hatschi – pollen season 2024

Later than last year, but much earlier than usual, the pollen season began in the last quarter of January with the stronger blossoming of the hazel and alder trees and thus the time of suffering for pollen allergy sufferers in the north too. The hazel and alder blossom period came to an end towards the end of March. However, the ash and birch pollen season was in full swing in April. There was also oak and sycamore pollen as well as pollen from conifers. At the end of April, the flowering of the main pollen allergen, grasses, also began in the central plateau. Their pollen will accompany us over the coming weeks and months until late summer, causing red eyes and runny noses for allergy sufferers.

Early summer and late winter - April with extreme temperature contrasts

The first half of April was exceptionally warm, with an excess of almost 5 degrees over the whole of Switzerland! There were also an unusually high number of summer days and even all-time April temperature records in some places. However, this was followed by a sharp drop in temperature in the middle of the month and an unusually long period of cold weather with snow down to low altitudes and even frost in some places. From one extreme to the other! Nevertheless, April 2024 will be too mild overall.

Increasingly warmer and at least partly sunny

The past few days have been characterized by significantly below-average temperatures and repeated wet episodes. After another critical night with regard to frost on Friday, the temperature level will rise significantly and we will come very close to the summer mark regionally at the turn of the month. Congestion sets in in the south, while it will be foehn in the north. There are also signs of another greeting from the desert at the start of the new week.

Regionally very different Easter weather

Over Easter, the weather in Switzerland varies greatly from region to region: The friendliest and warmest weather will be from Good Friday to Easter Sunday with partly stormy foehn winds in the Alpine valleys in the east, while the worst and coolest with partly heavy precipitation will be in the south. The west is in between with changeable and occasionally wet weather. Widespread precipitation is to be expected on Easter Monday.

Stormy start to November with storm Ciarán in Western Europe

Tomorrow Wednesday, a big storm named Ciarán will form over the Atlantic under rapid strengthening, which will subsequently move over southern England to the North Sea during the night on Thursday and on Thursday, bringing gale-force winds of up to about 150 km/h in parts, especially in southern England and northern France, and here especially in Brittany. Associated with this are also in the western English Channel and on the west coast of France also high waves of over 10 meters in places.

Unspectacular at first, potentially dangerous in the middle of the week!

In the Swiss Plateau, there will be room for sunshine between the clouds today, but along the Alps it will be very cloudy – and there will be some snow in places. Tomorrow, an intermediate high will ensure fairly sunny conditions. Things will get exciting on Wednesday – a warm front is likely to create good conditions for dangerous freezing rain in parts of the Swiss Plateau.
