This year’s autumn temperatures deviated 0.1°C from the reference value, MeteoSwiss said on Friday. It was the 30th-warmest autumn in the country since records began. Between 1991 and 2020, the average temperature of a Swiss autumn was 6.4°C.

According to MeteoSwiss, the start of autumn this year was very wet. At the Leukerbad measuring station, precipitation in October reached the fifth-highest level in 140 years. November made up for this with above-average sunshine throughout Switzerland.
