Wetter

Not recommended when wind is strong NW to NE. Do not fly when 'Föhn' is blowing or predicted. 'Föhn' is a strong, turbulent (south-)wind over the Alps due to large pressure differential between south and north side of Alps. ('Nordföhn' in Ticino/ northern Italy also exists and is normally even more turbulent!) - Föhndiagramm: https://wetterring.li/profiwetter/foehndiagramm-fl-ost-ch - Webcam:https://www.bergfex.ch/sommer/fanas/webcams/c6204/ - https://flugplatz-schaenis.ch/meteo/ - Wind in Schiers (MeteoSchweiz): https://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/service-und-publikationen/applikationen/messwerte-und-messnetze.html#param=messwerte-windgeschwindigkeit-kmh-10min&table=false&station=SRS
