What is the weather like in Switzerland?

Switzerland is not hot in summer and cold in winter. However, geographical location and changeable terrain have caused the diversity of local climate. Southern alps has a Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and warm and humid winters. The climate in the northern Alps is obviously transitional, from west to east, from mild and humid temperate maritime climate to temperate continental climate with Leng Xia fever in winter.

The national average annual temperature is 8.6℃. The average temperature in the central area of 65438+ 10 is about 0℃, and the average temperature in July outside the mountainous area is about 20℃. The temperature in mountainous areas decreases with the elevation. The average temperature in Sentis at an altitude of 2,500m in July is only 5℃. However, it is easy to form inversion in winter in valley areas. Orientation also has a certain influence on the temperature in some areas, and the temperature of the hillside facing south is higher than that of the valley and the hillside facing north.

The precipitation in the whole institute is between 1, 000-2000mm, and the average annual precipitation in 3/4 areas exceeds 1, 000mm. Precipitation is also deeply influenced by topography, and the precipitation in high mountains far exceeds that in parts of the central plateau and river valleys.

In addition, the dry and cold northeast wind in the westerly belt valley and the dry and hot foehn wind in the Great Transverse Valley of the Northern Alps also caused local climate differences. The dry and cold northeast wind comes from the interior of the European continent, which brings sunny weather to the Jura Mountain area and the central plateau area, and makes the climate in the valley colder than when there is no wind. When the foehn wind blows, the temperature of some valleys and hills at the northern foot of the Alps will suddenly rise, and sometimes the weather in early spring, March or late autumn,165438+1October will be as hot as summer.

Foehn will melt the snow, which is beneficial to the growth of crops, but it also often leads to landslides, avalanches, floods or fires, resulting in loss of life and property. If the wind comes too early, it may blow away the snow, thus damaging all kinds of winter sports and tourism.
