Lausanne Weather and Lausanne Climate Information
(Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland, CH)



Switzerland's ever popular city of Lausanne enjoys an especially mild climate, with much of its weather being directly influenced by its proximity to nearby Lake Geneva. Other important geographical features surrounding Lausanne and directly determining the climate include the southerly Swiss plateau, and the city's elevated position of some 500 metres / 1,640 feet above the port of Ouchy's shoreline.

Lausanne Weather and Climate: Seasonal Variations - Lausanne, Switzerland, CH
Warm and somewhat humid winds often arrive from the Atlantic, along with breezes from Lake Geneva, freshening the air in Lausanne and cooling down temperatures during the hot summer months. The climate in Lausanne is at its hottest between July and August, when temperatures average 25°C / 77°F by day and drop to around 14°C / 57°F at night. As a result, many restaurants and bars stay open until late, to make the most of the mild nights and longer daylight hours.




Lausanne's southerly exposure to the lake has resulted in a particularly verdant and appealing city, with a definite Mediterranean feel. The inviting summer climate is when many tourist choose to visit Lausanne, since the surrounding natural attractions are at there best. Pleasure and passenger boats from Ouchy become busy in the summer, and the nearby beach of Vidy is a definitely highlight at this time of the year.
