The 1999 University
of Akron Summer Program in the Alps' First Report will be posted shortly,
once the students have arrived. Prof. Jeantet has arrived in
Faverges two days before the group in order to make last-minute
preparations for the Program. The flights were smooth and departed
on time. A favorable jet-stream tailwind allowed us to arrive
in Geneva ½ hour ahead of schedule.
Information about
the weather in Faverges is posted below.

For up-to-date
weather information for Annecy, just a few miles from Faverges,
click on the sun/cloud icon below.
On the
Annecy weather page, temperatures are displayed in degrees Celsius.
To get Farenheit equivalent, a quick & dirty way is to double
the Celsius temperature and add 30. This is close enough for
most purposes...For example, 27 Celsius, doubled, give 54, plus
30, yields 84 degrees Farenheit. The actual temperature, derived
from the correct formula
[ (C x 9/5) + 32 = F ] gives a result of 81.
Once the students
are all safely home with their French families, an illustrated
report will be posted on the "First Report" page.
