June 2023 is the fourth hottest month in Valais since measurements began in 1864. At Swiss level, it is currently the second hottest month of June in history.

The mercury has risen to an average of 21 degrees in recent weeks at the Sion measuring station, according to MétéoNews. The institute reports temperatures 2.2 degrees higher than the seasonal averages in the canton. The differences are less marked in Valais than in certain other Swiss cantons, notes MétéoNews. In Neuchâtel, for example, the variation amounts to 3.5 degrees.

If the month of June was very hot, it was also very dry, warns MeteoNews, which warns that it might get even worse in the coming weeks.
