If you are tired of the heavy (and sometimes even torrential) rains of the past two weeks, then brighter news is on the horizon.

After warming up on Monday to low 20s, temperatures will soar on Tuesday, reaching up to 30C in many parts of Switzerland.

The zero-degree line will climb to the altitude of 4,000 meters.

The sunny and warm weather will continue for the rest of the week, even despite occasional clouds.

It is likely that Saharan dust will cover Switzerland with yellow hues, as it did in March

On  Thursday, the temps will drop somewhat, but it will be still be seasonably warm —  around 25C.

This is what you can expect this week in your region.

What is the forecast for the coming months?

If you are staying in Switzerland during the summer vacation, you want to be sure the weather will remain, well, summery.

However, tt is too early to know with any certainty.

The general hope, however, is that it will be pleasantly warm and sunny, but that Switzerland will be able to avoid extreme heatwaves of the past two years.

Swiss storms: Town in Vaud hit by ‘flood of the century’

Storms described as 'unprecedented' hit the Swiss canton of Vaud overnight on Tuesday and left one town underwater.

Swiss storms: Town in Vaud hit by 'flood of the century'

The weather website meteonews.ch  described the storms that hit Vaud on Tuesday night as being “exceptional” and “unprecedented”. Another news site said it was the “flood of a century”.

Around one month’s rain fall fell in just an hour and caused major flooding in the town of Morges, which stands on the banks of Lake Geneva.

The river Morges broke its banks around 6pm and left much of the town underwater as images posted on social media reveal.

Roads and car parks were left underwater, houses and underground car parks were flooded.

One Morges resident told local media they had not seen scenes like it in 20 years of living there.

Some drivers were left stranded in flooded tunnels and had to be rescued.

The floods in Vaud come after the canton of Graubünden and the famous resort of Zermatt were it by flooding at the weekend.

The weather forecast for the coming days suggests more storms could hit parts of Switzerland at the weekend.
