- The zero-degree Celsius level in Switzerland reached its highest altitude in nearly 70 years, with the isotherm level reaching 5,298 meters above sea level. This indicates extreme heat and raises concerns for the country's glaciers.
- The high temperatures have affected all of Switzerland's snow-capped peaks, including the 4,634-meter Monte Rosa summit and Europe's highest mountain, Mont Blanc. This suggests the potential for a thaw and poses a threat to the glaciers.
