What you are looking at
MeteoSwiss runs this weather camera near Schaffhausen, in the northernmost part of Switzerland, at about 573 meters. The camera sits on a mast above the forest and takes a wide panorama over wooded hills, the edge of the city of Schaffhausen with its taller buildings, and the open farmland beyond. On clear days the view reaches far across the gently rolling countryside on both sides of the Rhine.
MeteoSwiss uses its network of about 35 cameras mainly to follow weather along Switzerland's flight routes, and northern Switzerland lies on the approaches to Zurich Airport. Here the camera shows the changing skies of the Swiss Plateau: thick autumn and winter fog or low stratus cloud that can last for days, fronts arriving from the west, summer thunderstorms building in the afternoon and bright, clear days with long views. Autumn colors in the forest are a highlight in October.
The camera saves a panoramic still image every ten minutes. At dawn and dusk it switches to an infrared filter for black-and-white images in low light. A practical tip: the time printed on the image is UTC, one hour behind Swiss time in winter and two hours behind in summer.
