Switzerland is currently facing severe weather conditions as a powerful storm swept across the country, bringing with it strong winds and heavy hail. The storm, which hit yesterday evening, has caused widespread damage, with reports of fallen trees, power cuts and disrupted transport services.
The Swiss Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology has issued a red alert for several regions, including the cantons of Ticino, Valais, and Grisons. The strong winds, reaching speeds of up to 140 km/h, have caused chaos on the roads, with several accidents reported.
The heavy hail has also caused significant damage to crops, with farmers in some regions reporting losses of up to 50% of their crops. The Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture has declared a state of emergency and is working closely with local authorities to provide support to affected farmers.
The Swiss army has been deployed in some areas to assist with the clean-up operation, while rescue teams have been working around the clock to restore power and clear fallen trees from the roads.
Despite the efforts, some regions are still without power and the authorities are advising people to stay at home where possible.
The storm is expected to continue throughout the day and MeteoSwiss has warned that further damage and disruptions are likely. The Swiss authorities are urging the public to stay informed and take necessary precautions, as the storm is set to be one of the worst in recent years.
