Avalanches
In the summer and autumn, avalanche bulletins are published only in the event of heavy snowfall. Even if the SLF does not publish an avalanche bulletin, due consideration is to be given to the avalanche situation especially if snow has fallen recently.
Keep informed about the publication of unannounced Avalanche Bulletins. Activate in the App WhiteRisk the "Push Summer Bulletin".
The regular publication of avalanche bulletin recommences in November/December.4:Avalanches:-1:SLF:1111,1112,1113,1114,1121,1122,1211,1212,1213,1221,1222,1223,1224,1225,1226,1227,1228,1231,1232,1233,1234,1241,1242,1243,1244,1245,1246,1247,1311,1312,2111,2112,2121,2122,2123,2124,2131,2132,2133,2134,2211,2212,2221,2222,2223,2224,3111,3112,3113,3114,3211,3221,3222,3223,3224,3311,4111,4112,4113,4114,4115,4116,4121,4122,4123,4124,4125,4211,4212,4213,4214,4215,4221,4222,4223,4224,4225,4231,4232,4241,4242,4243,4244,5111,5112,5113,5121,5122,5123,5124,5211,5212,5214,5215,5216,5221,5222,5223,5231,5232,5233,5234,6111,6112,6113,6114,6115,6121,6122,6131,6132,6211,6212,7111,7112,7113,7114,7115,7121,7122,7123,7124,7125,7126,7211,7221,7222,7231,8111,8112,8113,8114,8211,8212,8213,8214,8215,8216,8221,8222,8223,8224,8225,8226,8227,8228,9111,9211,9311:

Aktuelle Situation
In den nächsten Tagen dehnt sich ein Hochdruckgebiet vom Mittelmeer nach Mitteleuropa aus und führt sehr warme Luft subtropischen Ursprunges zum Alpenraum. Am Freitag und Samstag liegen die Höchsttemperaturen südlich der Alpen bereits über 30 Grad, in der Nacht sanken die Temperaturen nicht unter 20 Grad. Der Schwellwert für die Hitzewarnung wurde jedoch nur lokal knapp erreicht.
Prognose
Von Sonntag bis Donnerstag werden die Höchsttemperaturen zwischen 31 und 34 Grad, die Tiefsttemperaturen zwischen 19 und 23 Grad liegen. In städtischen Gebieten werden die nächtlichen Temperaturen infolge der langsameren und weniger ausgeprägten Wärmeabstrahlung um einige Grade höher sein. Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit wird in den heissesten Stunden des Tages zwischen 40 und 50 Prozent betragen. Für die Niederungen der Alpensüdseite sowie das Zentralwallis wurde daher eine Hitzewarnung der Stufe 3 ausgegeben.
Das Ende der Hitzewelle ist noch unsicher. Aufgrund der akutellen Prognoseunterlagen wird die Hitze im Wallis am Mittwochabend, auf der Alpensüdseite am Donnerstagabend mit Gewitter enden.
