Summary
Summer 2026 eats the eternal ice: Alpine glaciers lose 15 percent mass in four years. On our pages you will find worldwide city and local forecasts for the next 14 days and for the first 7 days in 1-hour resolution and for the following days in 3-hour resolution. Since 2022, Swiss glaciers have lost around 15 percent of their total mass – in just four years.
Furthermore, Since 1900, the ice of the Alps has lost about half of its volume, and the pace continues to pick up. This happened so early only once since the beginning of the measurements, in the record year 2022. The Alpine glaciers suffer enormously from the current summer of 2026. © picture alliance/dpa/KEYSTONE | Jean-Christophe Bott Normally this tipping point does not fall until mid-August.
In addition, Whether 2026 will actually be the record, decides only in autumn. That's 400,000 liters, second by second, day and night.
