Geneva weather at a glance

• Geneva sits on the western edge of Lake Geneva; the lake can make conditions feel **milder**, but wind and rain can flip comfort quickly.
• Winter (Dec–Feb) is cold and often cloudy, with rain/sleet and occasional snow.
• Spring (Mar–May) is transitional—layers are the most practical approach, with noticeably better walking by April/May.
• Summer (Jun–Aug) is warm and can feel hot at midday; showers and thunderstorms can change the day fast.
• Autumn (Sep–Nov) starts comfortably in September, then becomes cloudier and wetter, bringing a damp chill.
