Winter reports

Given that the SLF has been issuing winter reports since the winter of 1936/37, a long-term and valuable series of documents is now available. They review the hydrological year, draw comparisons with long-term averages, and analyse exceptional winter occurrences in additional supplementary chapters. An initial provisional issue of the winter report appears around the end of April. Numerous updates are published thereafter. To select a report for a specific period, please go to the page German or French.
