What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this weather camera at Roche d'Or, in the canton of Jura in north-western Switzerland, near the French border, at about 948 meters. The panorama looks over green pastures and woods to the rolling farmland of the Ajoie region below, with the lowlands of France stretching toward the horizon.
This is the north-western edge of the Swiss Jura, where weather arriving from the Atlantic often reaches Switzerland first. MeteoSwiss uses the camera to follow conditions along flight routes in the north-west of the country, including approaches to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse. You may see fronts and rain bands rolling in from the west, low cloud on the hills, fog in the lowlands in autumn and winter, and snow covering the pastures in cold spells. Clear days give long views across the border, and summer evenings can bring wide, colorful skies.
The camera saves a panoramic still image every ten minutes and switches to an infrared filter at twilight for black-and-white images. A practical tip: the time stamp on the image is in UTC, which is one hour behind Swiss time in winter and two hours behind in summer.
