Image description

The head of Zurich's centuries-old traditional straw man "Boeoegg" explodes during the traditional Sechselaeuten ("chiming at six") event in Zurich April 19. At 6 p.m. guild members in traditional attire set fire to a 13-metre high pyre topped by the white straw man. The tradition says the longer it takes for the flames to reach the head of Boeoegg and make it explode, the wetter the summer. It took 24 minutes for this to happen which means summer is set to be wet this year compared to the previous years. STS/AA
