Social Engineering Baiting attack in action: In Switzerland PHYSICAL (yes, paper, remember?) fake letters have been sent to people at their home addresses to download a “Severe Weather Warning App” with an attached QR code that, after being scanned, led people to inadvertently download malware on their phones (The malware only affects smartphones that run on the Android operating system). https://www.ncsc.admin.ch/ncsc/en/home/aktuell/im-fokus/2024/2024-meteosuisse.html #infosec #socialengineering #baiting #malware #android #switzerland

A few days ago they announced a [“cocktail météorologique explosif”](https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/2024/article/un-cocktail-meteorologique-explosif-attendu-samedi-en-suisse-romande-alerte-meteosuisse-28553427.html) but the result I saw from my vantage point was some medium rain, and plenty of rain and thunder. The thunder was constant for quite a while.
When I saw the weather warnings my fear was that we would end up with hail. I have seen the damage that hail can do to nature. It shreds trees, destroys veluxes and more. That we had rain and lightning is fine.
In Valais the Rhone overflowed, as well as in Tessin and apparently there was a torrential flow from the Col Du Simplon.
Rivers in Valais are overflowing but that’s ordinary. The Rhone has a flood plain. People built in the flood plain so when heavy rain falls it rises, and as it rises it reaches homes, and so people are affected. To make things worse plenty of new roads, new buildings and more surfaces are switched from nature, trees and more, to tarmac and concrete. When rain does fall it has nowhere to go, but into the first low lying ground it finds, whether basements, parkings, or other.
## Fear of Hail
My fear was hail, because when hail falls it shreds everything it hits. Trees are thrashed, car windows are broken, veluxes break, and upstairs floors get soaked. Luckily we didn’t have this. I have personally experienced the destructive power of hail on veluxes.
They say that [we should expect damage](https://www.letemps.ch/suisse/vaud/christophe-salamin-meteorologue-il-faut-s-attendre-a-de-la-casse-peut-etre-meme-pire-que-cette-semaine) but the reason for that damage, is partially due to the weather dumping more rain, faster than usual, but it’s also due to urbanisation, building where rivers used to flood, and removing gardens and more from other parts.
## Bétonification / Tarmacificiation
As I walk from village to village I see that where individual houses once stood you have tarmac parkings and concrete buildings and gardens are an afterthought. When it rains the rain that would have fallen onto a tree, and then dripped to the ground, is now falling straight to tarmac, tile roofs and concrete. Where houses were once slightly above the nearby road, they are now flat against it.
## Nowhere for Water to Flow
When rain falls it can’t pool in a garden, or rest in a tree before trickling to the ground. It hits the hard surfaces and flows like a river, down roads, into basements, garages and other places. It flows through homes as well.
## Invisible Problem Due to Droughts
We have had five years of drought. During that time a lot was built, and now that the drought is on a break people are realising that they have built where rivers want to flow. They have found that the building they did on the hills, is affecting areas downstream, such as in Morges, and along the Rhone.
## Volatile Weather
Yes, the weather is more volatile, but nature has also been replaced, so that water flows straight from where it lands into rivers, which causes flooding. The point is that the weather is becoming more extreme, so the coverage is partly right, but by being alarmist about the weather, it deflects from the responsability of developers in regards to how they build where they shouldn’t, without considering rainfall and water flow.
[Un urbaniste de l’EPFL dézingue les villes suisses: «Notre modèle de développement urbain a généré l’inondation de Morges»](https://www.msn.com/fr-ch/actualite/other/un-urbaniste-de-l-epfl-d%C3%A9zingue-les-villes-suisses-notre-mod%C3%A8le-de-d%C3%A9veloppement-urbain-a-g%C3%A9n%C3%A9r%C3%A9-l-inondation-de-morges/ar-BB1p11B6)
## And Finally
Human activity has released carbon dioxide and methane into the sky and it will take at least two hundred years for that carbon dioxide to degrade. In that time rainfall patterns will shift, which will lead to more droughts and floods. By building in the wrong places, without thinking of rain, we are amplifying the effects of heavy rain, rather than mitigating them.
Weather forecasters sensationalise the effects, without speaking about how to mitigate and avoid the risks. That the alert went up to five yesterday shows what an effect urbanisation has had.
Weather weirding does have an impact on weather, but so does bad urban planning. With approrpiate urban planning flash floods and heavy rain are taken into consideration to mitigate risk.
As I write this I see that Canal9, a local TV station has been taken offline due to flooding in Valais.
And finally, although the rain might be a lot heavier than usual, urbanisation does play a role, and this should be discussed, and measures should be taken to mitigate such risks.

Possible #tornado kills 1 in #Switzerland
A strong storm tore through Switzerland on Monday that produced massive #hailstones the size of softballs and a potential tornado that is being blamed for at least one fatality.
By Adriana Navarro, AccuWeather staff writer
Published Jul 25, 2023 4:08 PM EDT | Updated Jul 25, 2023 4:08 PM EDT
"At least one person has died in Switzerland following a violent #storm that swept through central #Europe on Monday.
"Strong winds tore through the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, located in the northwestern part of the country, on Monday morning, where the storm 'unfortunately caused the death of a person in their fifties following the fall of a building crane,' Neuchâtel local police said in a press release.
"In addition to the death, around 15 other people were injured and were treated by the emergency services. Their injuries were not life-threatening.
"A wind gust of about 135 mph (217 km/h) was recorded at the Swiss weather service's station at La Chaux-de-Fonds Monday morning 'under a thunderstorm cell that suddenly strengthened as it reached the region,' #MétéoSuisse said on Twitter.
"The country's weather service later said that a probable tornado associated with a rapidly developing storm cell along the #JuraMountains hit the town, causing violent gusts of wind and significant damage. Photos of the area following the storm showed significant roof damage."

Je sais pas du tout comment gérer ça, en fait. https://www.meteosuisse.admin.ch/meteo/meteo-et-climat-de-a-a-z/isotherme-du-zero-degre.html
Chaque saison me met en colère, comme si je découvrais continuellement le problème, comme si j'attendais l'électrochoc qui va finalement mettre l'humanité en mouvement, comme si cette rage avait le pouvoir de tout stopper, de faire magiquement régresser les températures dans leurs limites pré-industrielles. Ma forme de déni consiste à croire, quelque part au fond de moi, dans une petite partie irrationnelle de ma personne, que tout va finir par revenir à la normale, et à attendre ce moment. J'attends, sérieusement. Chaque mois je guette le site de meteosuisse.admin.ch en espérant la bonne nouvelle d'un hiver froid, un qui marquerait une forme de cyclicité et la fin de ce calvaire.
Je souffre pas mal des températures. Plus qu'une personne normale, je veux dire. Mes sinus cluggent quand il fait chaud. Je fais des œdèmes au-dessus de 25°. passé 30°, j'ai de réelles difficultés à me déplacer et à respirer. Dans les années 90-2000 c'était rare d'atteindre cette température à Genève, où je vivais. Maintenant, de mai à septembre, c'est rare de descendre en-dessous, et pendant tout ce temps je suis comme paralysée. En hiver on passait parfois dès octobre la barre magique du 0° à partir de laquelle j'opère à des performances optimales, maintenant on se cogne des mois de décembre à 10° qui me sidèrent. La nécessité pour moi de retourner en montagne à assez court terme ne relève pas du caprice, mais de la préservation de ma capacité à fonctionner, à vivre, bêtement. Je ne sais pas combien de personnes ont des problèmes de ce genre. J'ai parfois l'impression que c'est si particulier et bizarre que l'on croit que j'invente ou que j'en fais des caisses... mais je me réjouis depuis des années de ne pas avoir à bosser dans des bureaux sans clim ou sur des chantiers, je crois que j'en crèverais. Plutôt littéralement.
Et je sais que je suis privilégiée. Je peux partir à la montagne. Mes cultures ne souffrent pas, mes bêtes ne subissent pas la sécheresse, mon lieu de vie n'est pas sur le point de se transformer en désert ou en lac artificiel.
Et les solutions sont si simples, c'est ce qui me pourrit le plus, ce refus d'agir. Pas que des classes dominantes, mais aussi des classes moyennes sup', qui rajoutent si souvent l'injure au désespoir en nous rappelant continuellement que vivre un niveau de vie qui ressemblerait un peu à celui de la majorité de la population - mais toujours bien plus élevé, il faut garder mesure - c'est trop de souffrances pour eux, ça ne va pas être possible.
Je sais pas quoi faire de tout ça. Ça me bouffe, quotidiennement. Et je ne vois pas ce qu'un #psy pourrait faire pour m'aider à gérer cette "angoisse", légitime et avec objet, qui ne consiste pas à mettre un pansement sur un puits ou à me faire entrer dans le déni pour vivre plus confortablement mon quotidien - illusion que la réalité de mon corps ne me laissera pas accepter.
La colère est une énergie transformatrice. Elle devrait permettre de trouver l'énergie de se mettre en action pour se dresser contre une injustice, pour la rectifier. Mais seule, je suis comme un putain de Dom Quixote contre le capitalisme. Ma vie, mon indignation sont de celles qui comptent le moins.
Je sais pas ce que j'attends de ce toot. J'ai juste besoin de sortir tout ça, ce matin de fin décembre où il fait 6° dans mon petit bled en plaine de la Suisse occidentale, hiver 2023. J'ai besoin de partager ça, de me décharger de ce désespoir et de cette rage. Peut-être que si je vous en transfère un peu, on trouvera quoi faire pour agir. Au pire, je n'aurai pas rien dit.

@isazi right, thanks, I am just curious who currently uses them.
E.g. I work with #CSCS in #Lugano and major notable customers are #meteosuisse , #WLCG (#particlephysics). I specifically work for #CTA and #SKA astronomical observatories, but their use is not yet substantial.There any many others too, I am not totally sure about relative use. E.g. #climate modelling is of course a very interesting case
Or is it a large number of small customers?

A Rain Soaked Walk in the Swiss countryside
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Yesterday I planned to walk so I put on my hiking boots and just as I was about to go out I heard large rain drops hit the velux. I thought "according to the weather app the rain should be light". It wasn't light. It was heavy and sustained.
You might think "So, why didn't you just wait out the rain. A few days ago I saw that rain was forecast, so I didn't go for an after lunch walk. The rain never came so I ended up going for my walk at rush hour, when everyone was commuting home, rather than when it was quiet.
There was a time when the Swiss weather app, and another, were very good at forecasting weather. They were so good that within minutes of rain being forecast it would fall. These days the weather forecast is less reliable again. I believe that they recently changed the models.
You might think "But why would you walk in heavy pouring rain" and the answer is that I didn't plan for it to last so long, and I also planned to do a smaller loop.
Although the rain was heavy, and I was getting soaked, I wasn't uncomfortable. I was listening to podcasts and enjoying that there were no dog walkers or other people. It was peaceful. It was quiet.
I did have second thoughts because I heard thunder at least three times. It was to the East, and not getting closer. No reason for me to turn back. If it had been getting closer then I would have changed route.
There is an exposed bit of road, between Grens and Borex where I would be the tallest thing around. Luckily rain soaked cows, a barn and a small wood were on the route so I didn't stick out.
I had the luxury of wearing hiking shoes. I had freedom. They eventually got soaked through and when I checked them this morning they are still waterlogged. They are now in direct sunshine drying.
When hiking boots get so wet it's good to keep using scrunched up newspapers to drive out the humidity. I'm hoping the sun will speed up the drying process.
And Finally
The walk was 8.3 kilometres long, over an hour and a half, with an air temperature of around 20°c. If it had been cooler, and if I had stopped, while rain soaked, then I could have felt cold. I was warm, and that's what counts.
My hands were a little numb by the time I got home but I wasn't in pain when feeling came back to them. It's not like when I was lake diving. That was agony.
It's a while since I was soaked by the rain, and it wasn't unpleasant. I did see two children heading home from school, and one did look quite miserable. Children often look miserable after school. It's a logical response.
