The map provides an overview of Switzerland's current groundwater temperatures. The calculation is based on percentiles of the dataset for the standard period 1991–2020 or, in the case of a shorter data series, the standard period 2001–2020 (basic data in °C).

• A figure significantly lower than the average conditions (low groundwater temperature) is reached if the current value is below the long-term 10th percentile, i.e. it is among the lowest 10% of all the data measured for the relevant month in the standard period.
• A groundwater temperature between the 10th and 90th percentiles means that conditions are normal.
• However, a figure significantly higher than the long-term average conditions (high groundwater temperature) is reached if the current value is above the 90th percentile.
