Thun sits at the northern end of Lake Thun where the Aare River flows from the Bernese Alps, a gateway position that sees more rainfall than the lower Swiss Plateau as moist air begins rising toward the mountains to the south. MeteoSwiss’s national radar network covers this Bernese Oberland-gateway district.
