Why is Switzerland so hot? I know climate change is a thing, but many other countries are receiving a lot of big snow falls. What's specifically going on in Switzerland? Jet stream weirdness allowing warm air further north?
- Freak_NL 4y agoThis is not limited to Switzerland, but to all the alpine regions in Europe; i.e., also France, Germany, and Austria. Only northern Italy seems to have faired a little bit better, but that is just meteorological luck.
- bonzini 4y agoWe had a normal beginning of December, but now it's been easily February weather for a couple weeks and forecast isn't any different. Temperatures in Rome last week were more typical of Easter than Christmas; northern Italy was not as extreme only because it's cloudy.

- bamboozled 4y agoAs someone who loves winter, this is sad but I guess it's just going to be a new reality...
- hutzlibu 4y agoYes, the jet stream is currently making whole central europe very warm, since before christmas.
