It depends!

For exemple, yesterday and during the last week, it was hot and sunny (nearly 35°C) and today it's raining and 17°C.

It depends on where you are, if you're in the north or the

south, or up in the mountains, etc.  Try to give us more

Answer 3

It really varies quite a bit. Summer highs vary from 20-35C in most of the cities. If you're heading to the Ticino (the Italian part of Switzerland) it will generally be on the warmer side, while if you're heading up the mountains, it will obviously be cooler (the temperature inversion - where it is 0 C - is around 4000m... heading up to the Jungfraujoch will therefore be cold so pack a jacket). Like most places in the summer, an occasional thunderstorm is possible or rainy periods. International weather sites such as accuweather.com or weather.com will give you decent estimates for where you're heading, as will the swiss site www.meteoswiss.ch . Due to the incredibly varied topography, it's tough to predict far in advance, but I'd generally say warm and humid - shorts and short-sleeves are fine, or capri pants, with a jacket needed if you're going to tour one of the mountaintops.
