Switzerland weather essentials. Switzerland definitely experiences seasons -- winter can bring a fair amount of snow while summer can be sunny and sultry but the weather is rarely extreme. Temperaures in summer can climb to the 30sÂ°C (90sÂ°F) or even mid 30sÂ°C (mid 90sÂ°F).
Weather conditions vary only slightly across the country, the lowland regions in the north and east have more continental influenced conditions with colder winters and hotter summers, and the southeastern areas of Switzerland have longer and warmer, almost Mediterranean-like summers.
