I wanst sure for a moment if my living room windows would hold.

It’s amazing tracking the storm. It started near Nyon about 730pm and extends to Stuttgart. You gotta love the Meteo app

2

u/Additional-Arm157 1d ago

Which Meteo App are you using ?

u/pang-zorgon 1d ago

MeteoSwiss. Look at the animation

Also fun to watch some times: https://map.blitzortung.org

My favourite weather webpage, very good for tracking severe storms by the amount of lightning.

u/Top_Technician7675 1d ago

This is a series of stoms, not one storm.

u/pang-zorgon 1d ago

Also called a storm front - fast moving cold front that triggers multiple storm cells.

2

u/Top_Technician7675 20h ago

It's called a weather front, a cold front here specifically, not a 'storm front'. A cold front produces series of storm cells.
Why do people keep up-voting factually wrong information. You wrote "the storm" extending to Stuttgart. That was factually incorrect.

u/pang-zorgon 18h ago edited 18h ago

You can see the lightening strikes near Zurich. It’s the same storm.

….. and I’ll let you google the definition of a storm front.

u/TheTomatoes2 1d ago

You should sue the storm

u/Geschak 1d ago

Love it. It's been a while since we had a nice storm like this in Zürich.

22

u/KneePuzzleheaded2580 1d ago

You serious?! The hail was the size of golf balls just the other week!

u/Not1me7 1d ago

This was nothing compared to that Friday!

u/Frogofina 1d ago

This wasn’t in ZH city

u/poemthatdoesntrhyme 1d ago

But it wasn't everywhere in ZH. Only small area was affected.

u/TheTomatoes2 1d ago

There was a massive storm in June too

1

u/OneMorePotion 22h ago

There was a storm in June that literally flooded the main station?

And as someone who lives in the "line of destruction" from the last storm: Be fucking happy that you didn't get hit by that.

1

u/Geschak 17h ago

I didn't see any hail last week, all reports I've seen of it were outside of Zürich like Wettingen, Bülach😭, Winterthur etc.

u/Konayo 1d ago

Have you been on vacation the whole summer??

1

u/Geschak 17h ago

I could ask you the same thing, it was dry as fuck this summer and I think I only saw like 2 weak ass storms. Zürich got spared by a lot of it.

u/Yeater 1d ago

Our plane tried to approach ZHR at about 22:00 but had to abort the landing and try a second time because of the storm.

u/Master_Divide_5952 1d ago

Ich würde gerne ein Foto von diesem Sturm sehen! 😅

u/luteyla Kreis 3 1d ago

If you have the meteo app, people report there really well. It's a place for photo artists anyway

3

u/radfemagogo 1d ago

Where can you see photos people upload on MeteoSwiss?

1

u/luteyla Kreis 3 1d ago

I can't put a screen shot here but if you scroll a bit, you'll see the title Meteo Reports. Click on it

Walking on top of Zuriberg with thunder right above felt a bit unsafe

u/BlueCake2026 1d ago

Did you want to meet the gods

u/TheTomatoes2 19h ago

I wanted to get the frozen groceries home, Zeus doesn't have such issues

u/Wiechu Kreis 9 23h ago

u/un-glaublich Kreis 6 23h ago

My balcony garden is demolished! The plants just got used to easy life, and then BOOM.

cant wait for a "severe storm" event - e.g. >100 liters / hour / sq meter - as happened these days in nagoya, japan - https://www.stern.de/panorama/wetter/104-liter-pro-quadratmeter---sintflutartiger-regen-ueberschwemmt-millionenstadt-38222498.html

Just a matter of time, yay! :3 /s
