Here is our last Alpine forecast update for the 2009/10 winter season, from Fraser Wilkin. Looks like snow for some … But we will be keeping you posted with short overviews and snippets during the summer (those glaciers and southern hemisphere reports!).

Forecast update 26 April

Typical spring weather this week for anyone fortunate enough to be skiing in the handful of Alpine resorts still open. This means lots of sunshine but also a scattering of showers triggered by the heat of the day. Some very modest accumulations of snow are possible above 2500m but the usual advice still applies – ski high and early for the best snow. Any showers will largely die out mid-week and temperatures will soar (freezing levels climbing to 3400m or so by Thursday) All change on Friday, however, as cold front approaches from the north-west. This will introduce cooler and more unsettled conditions to many regions over the weekend with snow possible to 1500m in places!
