Colors of Spring
Spring is taking it very slow this year in the Swiss Alps. 2021 has brought Switzerland the coldest spring since 1987, with temperatures at least 2.5°C below long term average. The southern location of the jet stream over Europe is responsible for the cold weather here, while it also brings record high temperatures to Western Siberia.
The cold air causes lots of clouds and precipitation and makes for few opportunities to do astrophotography. Fortunately, the grey weather doesn't affect the beautiful colors of the spring sky, if the clouds decide to part.
