Zurich's Climate

Zurich lies on its namesake lake in northern Switzerland and has a humid temperate climate strongly influenced by the nearby Alps. Winters (December–February) are cold at around -1°C to 4°C, bringing snow and persistent low fog over the valley, while summers (June–August) are moderately warm at 22–26°C with thunderstorms and heavy downpours. Occasionally a warm, dry Föhn wind sweeps down from the south, causing sudden temperature spikes. This page provides an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV index and air quality (AQI).

Frequently asked questions

Does it snow in Zurich?

Yes, Zurich typically sees snow from December to February, though it is not always deep. The higher ground around the city and nearby slopes hold snow more reliably and longer than the lakeside center.

Why is Zurich so foggy?

In late autumn and early winter, temperature inversions trap fog and low cloud over the valley and lake for days at a time, while the higher mountains above can stay sunny and clear.

What is the warmest month in Zurich?

July is the warmest, with daytime highs usually 24–26°C and occasional hot spells above 30°C. Summer is also when afternoon thunderstorms are most frequent.

When should I visit Zurich?

May to September is best, offering warm weather, long days and clear lake-and-mountain views; winter suits travelers wanting to pair the city with skiing at nearby resorts.
