Snow will fall in the Alps this week

Snow is expected to fall in the Alps at elevations between 2,000 and 2,500 meters this week, despite it being mid-July. This unusual weather phenomenon is due to a cold air mass moving in. The cold air is brought by a strong low-pressure system and northwesterly winds, causing the snow line to drop. Temperatures in the high-altitude regions of the Alps are already cool, making snowfall possible. While unusual, such July snowfalls have occurred before. The forecast also predicts unsettled weather with cooler temperatures for the coming days, followed by a return to warmer summer conditions by the weekend.
