That'll be the Foehn, a hot, dry wind that sweeps down from the mountains and can raise the temperature by 20 degrees in an hour. Many Swiss people claim the Foehn is responsible for headaches, roadrage and all kinds of other ills. It was certainly instrumental in the destruction of most of Glarus town by fire 150 years ago.
Since Brits are clearly immune to its ill effects, we might as well enjoy it!

When I left the flat this morning, in bright but chilly sunshine, the Alps looked like they were painted onto the sky, like a cinema backdrop. Absolutely stunning.
Then I went over the hill into Zürich, and admired the old town buildings rising up and fading into the autumnal mist.
(I haven't got a leaving date yet, but I'm already getting maudlin. Could be a looooong couple of months ahead  )

Suffice it to say I'd recommend getting your thermals ready. | The following 2 users would like to thank Belgianmum for this useful post: | |

Good job I love contrasts ... 22C today and tomorrow- and minus 2 on Wednesday + snow. Bring it on
I an so enjoying this Indian Summer- but I am really looking forward to a PROPER COLD AND SNOWY WINTER. If I'd wanted grey slush and damp but not so cold **** I'd stayed in the UK

Quite foggy here this morning, but it's turned into a lovely autumn day. Looks like the central heating may go on later in the week though. Still, can't complain, it's been a great Indian summer.  May be just as well we're getting a new winter set of tyres put on a couple of weeks earlier than normal, we may need them.
