Blatten got 119mm precipitation on April 16.
Nearby Grächen's
122mm ranked 3rd highest since 1861,
and came as 60 cm snow, ranking 8th since 1966.The event is not mentioned as factor in accelerated Nesthorn / Birch glacier collapse, but why not – despite its significance – at least merits noting a reason, doesn't it?
Until I hear otherwise 😁, I am going to connect the event to the acceleration from May 14 onwards, and to the final collapse.

How does Switzerland predict landslides?
Switzerland is a success story in predicting landslides.
Government agencies there use a broad range of technologies and methods to assess risks that could threaten lives and property.
But more must be done to help the rest of the world prepare for these deadly, unpredictable disasters.
