Precipitation since 1864

These maps show the distribution of precipitation in Switzerland since 1864, both as annual, seasonal, and monthly totals for individual years and as standard values averaged over longer periods. Precipitation distributions are displayed as fields on a grid or as spatial averages for catchments as of 100km². For these catchments, users can view time series showing variations over the last 150 years.
