–The alerts issued by MétéoSUisse from Thursday to Saturday.
This heat is caused by a high pressure ridge which will gradually increase this Wednesday and the next few days over western Europe. It will promote the influx of very hot air towards Switzerland in a southwesterly current. The trend for thunderstorms will also increase this weekend.
