Some web sites say the daily highs in St. Moritz are 8 to 11 C. Others say the high teens. I see similar discrepancies for Zermatt. We are just going to be walking around in the towns. So what should we be prepared for? When? In the Summer in St. Moritz it can get up to 30C although mid 20s are more usual. Evenings tend to be quite cool. I've been in a snow shower in Grindelwald in August. The weather in the Alps very much depends on the high pressure vs low pressure weather systems. Like most places, even in those countries which are partly below sea level ) The Rain in Spain falls Mainly on the Plain! My God he's got it! |

The first site shows a June average for Zermatt of 10.2 degrees, and 12.7 degrees for July. It is the monthly average temperature measured over 30 years (climate) not the average maximum temperature. The graph on the second site shows a June range of about 13 to 22, and a July range of about 15 to 25. Maybe measured over a shorter period? They can't both be right, can they? A good question. |

The graph on the second site shows a June range of about 13 to 22, and a July range of about 15 to 25. They can't both be right, can they? Try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermatt which gives you 19C daily maximum for July. 19C is roughly halfway between 15C and 25C (15C seems too warm to be the average minimum temperature at that altitude). -- Bartc |

Most information available will deal with averages. FWIW, I was in Gimmelwald during mid July a number of years ago. I had forgotten to take a jacket, and I sure could have used it. It was cool and misty a lot of the time. |

Although confused by all the contradictory web sites, I personally find Wikipedia credible. And its climate charts for other Swiss cities agree with Weatherbase ( http://www.weatherbase.com/ ) which I have found useful. |

They can't both be right, can they? Maybe the Swiss weather web site could help : http://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/web/de/wetter.html Climate : Average 10°C, low 6°C, high 18°C http://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/web...tions/zer.html Now I remember crossing Switzerland in July under a heavy rain, fog in the mountain passes, and even snow falls, and ten days later crossing back under hot sunny weather. |
