The weather service MeteoSchweiz provides climate normals in table format from all measuring stations with long-time series of measurements. Monthly and annual normals for the temperature and precipitation as well as for a number of other measured parameters are available for the norm periods 1961-1990 and 1981-2010.
Normal values per measured parameter
For each table, the climate normals of one measured parameter from all available stations have been compiled in pdf or text format. The text files are separated by tabs and intended for electronic data processing. The periodic processing of newly emerging inhomogeneities in the data series can result in altered normal values for some stations at the beginning of a new year. The processing status can be gathered from the individual documents.
