The heatwave is coming to an end today.
Forecasters say this afternoon will bring rain and storms – and a significant drop in temperature.
Highs for the rest of the week are unlikely to go above the mid-twenties in the Geneva region – other areas of French speaking Switzerland will be even cooler for the rest of the week.
But don’t think it’s the end of summer. Next week, temperatures are expected to be back in the high twenties.
