What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this weather camera at Olivone, at the head of the Blenio valley in the canton of Ticino, at about 1,183 meters. Olivone lies at the foot of the road to the Lukmanier Pass, which links Ticino with Graubünden, and the camera is here to help MeteoSwiss watch weather along flight routes across the Alps.
Unlike some of the network's wide mountain views, this panorama is framed by tall trees and the eaves of a building, so the camera mainly shows the sky above the treetops, with a Swiss flag sometimes visible at the edge. That still makes it useful for reading the weather: low clouds and drizzle on grey days, blue skies on sunny ones, and snow on the branches in winter. Ticino, on the south side of the Alps, often has different weather from northern Switzerland, with heavy rain when moist air pushes up from the south and bright, dry days when the north wind blows.
The camera saves a panoramic still image every ten minutes, using an infrared filter at twilight for black-and-white images. A practical tip: the time on the image is in UTC, one or two hours behind Swiss local time.
