Cold front arriving - but maybe summer will return

It may be the time to start to get out your winter clothes this week – but forecasters say, don’t pack up your summer wear just yet.

MétéoSuisse says a cold front will mean a crash in temperatures and plenty of rain. It’s unlikely to get above 15 degrees and there could even be snow at 1,500 meters.

Forecasters say temperatures will be below the norm for the time of the year, but it’s still too early to say this is the end of the summer weather.

But it’s unknown what will happen when the cold front passes, likely be by the beginning of next week.
