As already mentioned in my pictures of the Rigi railways on bahnbilder.de, the beautiful sunny weather on the Rigi changed abruptly on 20.07.2007 when a wall of clouds moved over the mountain. On the one hand, it was a pity, but on the other hand, it was also a somehow fascinating natural spectacle. Fortunately, the clouds did not bring any rain. (go to image) 

Hello Thomas,

In the late afternoon of July 21, 2007, around 5:00 PM, Lucerne was hit by an extreme heavy rainstorm. I had spent a few hours walking through the Swiss Museum of Transport that day and had just returned to my hotel room to rest a bit. I was awakened by the sound of the rain—and by the screams of people who were caught outside by the rain. (go to image) 

Great bad weather shot. These darn Alps attract rain like a magnet attracts iron!
Best regards

Thanks for the praise, Stefan. I was initially unsure whether to upload it. The weather in the mountains is often unpredictable. In 1993, I had already experienced a completely rainy vacation in Lucerne, and the weather forecast for this trip wasn’t great either – it was supposed to be changeable. But in fact, the inevitable rain usually only came in the late afternoon or early evening, by which time I was already back from my excursions. I didn’t have to open my umbrella even once; most of the time it was quite sunny while I was out.
Best regards, Thomas

The summit of the Eiger emerges from the clouds. The shot was taken in July 2003 from the Kleine Scheidegg. (go to image) 
