Field notes
Continental temperate (alpine valley) — meaningfully similar to Zurich (only 100km away), with cold snowy winters (December–February averaging 0–2°C, with regular sub-zero nights and snow accumulation) and warm summers (June–August averaging 17–19°C, peaks above 30°C). Spring (April–June) is the transition window with frequent rain. The Rhine valley microclimate produces the foehn wind, which can produce dramatic warm spells in winter. Snow accumulates regularly in the surrounding peaks December–April.
