Understanding Weather Alert Levels in Switzerland
The Swiss government issues weather alerts to inform the public of potential hazards. Recently, a 'level 3' alert was issued for heavy snowfall and strong winds.
Hazard Levels
- Level 3: Significant Hazard - Icy roads are difficult to use, and road and air travel is likely to be disrupted.
- Level 5: Very Severe Hazard - Road, rail, and air travel may come to a standstill, and there may be interruptions to electricity supply and/or telephone network. Objects may fall over, and smaller tree branches may break off.
MeteoSchweiz notes that widespread ice formation on roads over a sustained period is a rare occurrence in Switzerland.
It is essential to pay attention to these weather warnings to stay safe and prepared.
