It’s all fine, it was also warm back then, why can’t you complainers be happy about these yearly 1-2 hot days? Nothing to see here /s

People keep referring to Switzerland as the water tank of Europe and I think many in Switzerland believe that because we have dams and glaciers we will never run out of water.
I fear this is a fake sense of security and we will be hurting a lot in the coming decades

I hope the good people in this country will realize that SVP and FDP are upto no good. They need to be taught a lesson until they change their policies at least towards the environment.
There is no economy on a dead planet.

I need to write this down because I see a lot of panic and misinformation going around every time we have a drought: There is enough rain and snow melt in Switzerland for 20 Switzerlands, every year.
However, we don’t have the water storage capacity in high altitude reservoirs to bridge the ever longer dry months in summer. The water’s already flowed down into low rivers, lakes and out of the country.
This drought is about agriculture, not about drinking water. It affects crops. You will not die of dehydration. You might need to eat German lettuce instead of Swiss lettuce for a while.
