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.

Inside the Swiss valley partially swallowed by a glacier.
The dramatic collapse of Switzerland's Birch glacier wiped the village of Blatten off the map.
DW spoke to locals and experts about what happened and what comes next.
