Temperatures in Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland

European countries measure temperature in Centigrade rather than Fahrenheit.

In general temperatures depend on the season, on the altitude and the geographical region you are staying in. In winter, it is usually cold around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, getting warmer to the south. In summer temperatures reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit and more especially in the southern regions. Transitions between winter and summer are often a bit unpredictable and it is advisable to pack several layers of clothing.

Be aware that the weather often changes quickly, especially in high alpine regions.
