In Switzerland, residents must prepare for unsettled weather in the coming hours. The weather service MeteoAlarm has issued an official warning for heavy rain in a total of 54 regions across the country.
The warnings currently apply to large parts of Switzerland. Experts have declared a "yellow" danger level, which means that the weather situation should be monitored closely. Significant amounts of precipitation are to be expected, particularly in the affected areas.
The warnings will remain in effect in some areas until Thursday morning. Authorities advise the public to check local weather reports regularly and to prepare for potential disruptions to daily life or road traffic.
Although the yellow warning level is not the highest, heavy rainfall can still lead to flooded basements or minor flooding. Drivers should adjust their speed to the wet road conditions.
