The climate of Lucerne (Switzerland)
Lucerne was founded in 840 AD. The city is divided into two parts by
the river Reuss. The presence of the river causes the city to be
rather wet. Most precipitation falls during the summer. Because
Lucerne is situated in a valley winters are mild. Lucerne is a city of
dance, music and song. Several cultural festivals are held here
annually. The city is the economic center of central Switzerland.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
