💨Wind

🔥 Thermal: Afternoon 'Walensee thermal' 3-5 Bft, but rarer and weaker than ten years ago; west wind runs the whole lake. Usually from W, strongest around 16:00.

FoilFlow checks the thermal conditions every day (sun strength, wind aloft, Föhn, Bise and the lake's own pressure rules) and shows when it is likely.

Forecasts from several weather models (e.g. ICON, AROME, HARMONIE) and live measuring stations nearby are in the app.

💡Good to know

Wind funnelled between steep slopes: strong gusts, Föhn and thermal
Cold water (rarely above 20 °C)
