The climate of Lugano (Switzerland)
Lugano is located on Lake Lugano. Because of its southerly situation
on the banks of the lake on the leeward side of the mountains in a
valley Lugano enjoys a very mild climate. Mainly Mediterranean
vegetation grows here which may come to full bloom as soon as
February. This city of arts and architecture is a nice destination
early in the year. In Muso Cantonale d’Arte paintings by Degas and
Renoir can be admired. Traffic is banned from the city center, so you
can go for a pleasant stroll through the city and admire the beautiful
architecture.

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:
