The weather service MeteoSchweiz provides climate normals in table format from all measuring stations with long and homogeneous time series of measurements. Monthly and annual normals are available for a number of measured parameters and different reference periods.
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. This table form is only available for parameters with homogeneous data series.
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.
