Swiss weather in February
The weather can surprise with its capriciousness and inconstancy. Sometimes frosts can turn out not to be European at all. Blizzards, frequent snowfalls, severe and rather strong winds, gray low clouds, overcast sky, chilliness can leave an unpleasant impression. However, for the most part, these "whims" are characteristic of the territory of Switzerland, where the lakes are located.
As for the ski resorts, in February they can delight tourists with perfect snow that covers the surface of the mountains. Moreover, it seems that spring will never even come here. During the day, the air temperature here rarely drops below -3. However, at the so-called "high" resorts, the temperature regime ranges from -5 to -10 degrees. February nights are quite cold here. Even when the air was freezing during the day, it gets very cold after sunset. The temperature can reach -10 degrees. That is why rest in Switzerland during this period involves the use of additional warm clothes. Never forget about wool socks and thermal underwear.
Speaking of the Swiss valleys, the temperature is quite comfortable. During the day, it is usually about 5 degrees Celsius. At the same time, do not forget about the chilly winds that literally dominate here. So, especially you should not count on positive temperatures. Rainfall, which is quite frequent here, should not be ignored. Rain and snow are normal. That is why it is definitely worth taking an umbrella with you.
