The thermometer in Geneva read 38 °C (100.4 °F) at noon on Thursday. According to the private weather service Meteonews, this is the highest temperature recorded so far this year in Switzerland

"The end of the line has not yet been reached," Meteonews wrote in a statement on the short message service X (formerly Twitter). The service therefore expects it to get even hotter on Thursday.

The archives shows that in 2015, the heat record for the northern side of the Alps in Switzerland was registered in Geneva. At that time, the thermometer in the city read 39.7°C.

According to Meteonews, the highest temperature so far this year was measured in the village of Chur, in canton Graubünden on July 11. There, 37.6°C were recorded on that day.

It’s time to get used to such temperatures and for some people to understand that every little action against climate change is already a start.
