I wouldn't really say 20° plus was cold. It's normal summer weather and rather pleasant if you ask me.

How many minutes, hours (days???), before we start reading the first complaints about the rain?


I was blessed to see the Matterhorn yesterday for the first time, bright blue sky and not a cloud in sight. Enhanced with lunch chez Vrony, what a fabulous experience! Best meal I've had in CH in 5 years!


Somehow, the grey skies and rain in Geneva today seem and feel fine. I can almost hear Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" outside the door!

I certainly don't mind the cooler weather, but my poor son is off to camp this week at Les Mosses, and I sent him off with mostly shorts and Tshirts in his suitcase!

Well, put it that way - I've just gone upstairs to put so SOCKS on!

Brrr! But there is hope! Next week 30C should be back!

Well, it's about time
It looks like darkest November outside

Yup, socks were searched out here too the other night.

Woke up to a taste of autumn- a mist for the first time this year- soon burnt out and a beautiful very bright day but not too hot- really pleasant.

But wait for what's in store for 1st August! Flooded Alpine horns and croaky yodellers, I'd say!

Yes, that's what it looks like here. We're thinking of heading over to Pontarliar tomorrow, but may be even wetter there so may not be much fun.

It will be drier but colder:

Well, at least all this heat and sun is good for the garden, hopefully we'll get some rain soon, I'm tired of watering all the time.

Install automated system?

Really? Because this is what Meteocentrale is showing for Vallorbe tomorrow and it's not that far away from Pontarlier.

Maybe it is for Jura and Jura is at 1000m asl? What is MC showing for Ponarlier and Lausanne?

Lovely beautiful sunny day near Pontarlier, at 950m- but windy (la bise = the east wind)- the big local fiesta is actually tonight here- and tomorrow we will be down in the valley, in my native village, at 750m- with a big group of school friends from Ye Olde Days - for a BBQ- with other old friends coming over from being the Salève to spend a few days. Will be great.

It's also nice down in Lausanne Nice 19.5C and westerly breeze

MC doesn't give Pontarlier as it's in France, but this is what it's predicting for Lausanne tomorrow. Totally different from your post.

The chestnuts are starting to change colour here...
