Weather Development Over Time in the Region
In the Graubünden region, especially in valleys like Sursevla (Surses), thunderstorms with heavy rain are typically associated with warm, moist air combined with mountainous terrain, which enhances convective activity.
- Short-term (next 24-48 hours):
- Expect rapid development of thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and evening, due to heating and upslope wind patterns.
- Heavy rainfall can be punctuated by lightning, strong winds, and possible hail.
- Medium-term (3-7 days):
- Thunderstorm activity can be episodic depending on frontal passages and atmospheric moisture levels.
- Cooler, more stable air masses generally reduce storm likelihood after a front passes, but mountain conditions can keep some local showers or thunderstorms.
- Long-term:
- Seasonal patterns in Graubünden suggest thunderstorms are more frequent in late spring through summer.
- Weather tends to be more stable in autumn and winter, but localized storms can still occur.
For the most accurate and updated forecast tailored to Foppa and Sursevla, tracking local meteorological bulletins during the thunderstorm season is crucial.
