This Wednesday, a few showers at daybreak between the Chablais and the Vaud Alps. Otherwise, the morning will still be quite sunny. The sky will then become cloudy to very cloudy in the afternoon with showers expected in all regions. Precipitation is likely to be more frequent in the Chablais and may occasionally turn thundery. Seasonal temperatures. Forecast temperatures in the Rhône valley: lows of 13 to 16°, highs of 22 to 23°. In resorts around 1500m: lows of 11 to 12°, highs of 16 to 18°. On the summits: 10/14° at 2000m, 6/5° at 3000m. Freezing level: 3700 m. Moderate breeze during the day in the Rhône valley (gusts around 50 km/h). Light to moderate westerly wind in the high mountains (wind peaks sometimes exceeding 50 km/h around 2500m).

Thursday: scattered cloud remnants early in the morning, especially in the mountains, followed by more high-level cloud arriving throughout the afternoon. Otherwise, relatively sunny conditions across the plains during the day. Maximum temperatures of 21 to 23°, 15° at 1500 m. Friday: plenty of cloud patches in the morning, or even quite cloudy skies, then an improving trend in the afternoon with the return of sunny spells, which could be extensive over the plains. A few isolated spots of rain cannot be ruled out in the Alps. Maximum temperatures of 21 to 22°, 14° at 1500 m. Saturday: generally plenty of sunshine, despite a few cloudy intervals, especially in the morning. Maximum temperatures of 23 to 25°, 17° at 1500 m. Sunday: lovely sunny weather, though the sky will be streaked with veils of cirrus, becoming more frequent by the end of the day and into the evening. Maximum temperatures of 25 to 27°, 19° at 1500 m. Next week: likely high-pressure conditions and plenty of sunshine. However, there is uncertainty regarding temperature levels due to the possible onset of a "bise" (north-easterly) wind. Highs generally ranging between 21 and 24° according to the cooler models, and 26 to 29° according to the milder models.
