That sounds quite cold to me. I would expect temperatures in the twenties
in the day when it's sunny. On the other hand, when you have a rainy day,
it could be much cooler.

Take sun-creme (high sun-block, like 25 or 30) and sun-hats, the sun at
this altitude is very strong and you get burned very quickly. Especially
when it feels a little cool and windy.

Besides that, taking a light rain-jacket for in the day might be a good
idea, and maybe a jumper.

Regards,

Frank

Ten minutes was the maximum recommended time in the sun at sea level in
Zuid Holland last week.

Average Zermatt temperature and rain fall figures are here

It was sites like these that led to my original post.

The first site shows a June average for Zermatt of 10.2 degrees, and
12.7 degrees for July.

The graph on the second site shows a June range of about 13 to 22, and
a July range of about 15 to 25.

They can't both be right, can they?

It is the monthly average temperature measured over 30 years (climate)
not the average maximum temperature.

Maybe measured over a shorter period?
