MeteoSwiss says the winter was significantly warmer than average, despite dense fog on the Swiss Plateau in December and a bitterly cold start to the year.
The nationwide average temperature from December to February was minus 0.2 degrees Celsius — 1.6 degrees above the 1991 to 2020 norm.
That makes this last winter the sixth warmest since records began in 1864.
After a dry start with little snow, heavy snowfall returned in February, particularly in western Switzerland and along the northern Alps.
