The weather service SRF Météo says this year was the second warmest year on record. It was also the second wettest year.
Last year was the hottest on record.
Compared to the average from 1961 to 1990, temperatures were 2.5 degrees higher than the norm.
This year’s figures were pushed up by a very unusually warm October, but then temperatures dropped sharply.
Many areas of the country, especially in the east, also recorded extremely high levels of rain.
