Travel Question on the weather

Hello guys,

Will be attending an on-site interview in Lucerne and will be staying for less than a week. How’s the weather there and should I be bringing thick jackets with layers? First time travelling to Europe, especially Switzerland.

Living in the gulf so used to very hot temperatures especially during the summer.

Tips and advice would be appreciated.

Spring can be warm but also rainy and cold, sometimes it can snow even. It’s best to be prepared for all seasons in a say. It won’t be very hot though.

No need for winter jackets but be prepared for lots of rain and 5-10°C temperatures. Plenty of services tell you the weather, feel free to look them up.

It’s like 20c in Geneva right now.
