The thunderstorms since midday on Saturday have brought heavy thunderstorms with record amounts of rain to the southern Valais Alps, the Simplon region and as far as the Leventina.
As the Meteonews precipitation radar shows, around 200 liters of rain per square meter have fallen in the upper Maggia Valley over the past 24 hours. That is much more than the devastating storm in Misox GR last weekend. There it was 120 liters of rain per square meter.
Thunderstorms are forecast again today, Sunday, along the Alps; the weather should calm down in the evening.
