Geneva's Climate

Geneva sits at the southwestern tip of Lake Geneva, wedged between the Jura and the Alps, with a humid temperate climate carrying a mild semi-continental edge. Winters (December–February) are cold at around 0–5°C, with occasional snow and the notably bitter Bise wind funneling along the lake, while summers (June–August) are warm at 24–27°C and sunnier than cities in northern Switzerland. Rain falls throughout the year, but summer thunderstorms deliver the heaviest amounts. This page provides an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV index and air quality (AQI).

Frequently asked questions

What is the Bise wind in Geneva?

The Bise is a dry, cold northeasterly wind that funnels along Lake Geneva, most common in winter and early spring. It makes the air feel far colder and can occasionally coat the lakeshore in ice.

Does it snow in Geneva?

Yes, but not heavily in the center; snow falls in a few spells from December to February and melts fairly quickly. The nearby Jura heights and Salève hold deeper, longer-lasting snow.

What is the hottest month in Geneva?

July is the hottest, with daytime highs usually 25–27°C that can exceed 32°C during heatwaves. It is also the sunniest stretch and ideal for lakeside activities.

When is the best time to visit Geneva?

Late spring to early autumn (May–September) is best, with warm, sunny weather and vivid lake-and-mountain scenery; avoid the cold mid-winter Bise spells if you dislike biting wind.
