What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this weather camera above Eich, on the eastern side of Lake Sempach in the canton of Lucerne, at about 696 meters. The panorama looks down over pastures and trees to the lake and the green hills on the far shore, and on clear days the Alps appear as a jagged line on the horizon.
Lake Sempach lies in the hilly countryside north-west of Lucerne, a classic landscape of the Swiss Plateau. MeteoSwiss uses the camera to watch weather along flight routes through central Switzerland. In autumn and winter the lake often lies under fog or low stratus, sometimes for days; in spring and summer you may see showers drifting across the water, afternoon thunderstorms and calm evenings with still reflections. Clear days after a cold front, or during foehn, bring the mountains into sharp view far to the south.
A new panoramic still image is saved every ten minutes. At dawn and dusk an infrared filter produces black-and-white images in low light. A practical tip: the time printed on the image is UTC, so add one hour in winter or two in summer to get Swiss local time.
