This month is on track to be one of the hottest Mays ever recorded in Geneva.
The forecasters Meteosuisse say the average temperature could be around 17 degrees. The normal temperature range between 1991 and 2020 is 14.5.
If the current hot temperatures last for the next two weeks, the average could be over 18 – but it’s expected the end of the month will be cooler.
But even so – it may not break the absolute record. That remains the very hot European spring of 1868 – which was over 18 and a half degrees on average.
The rest of that year remained hot – but also brought drought, storms and flooding across the country.
