Switzerland is now in the season of pleasant autumn breezes. In my area, where I live at an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level, I can see white breath when I step outside in the morning. The temperature is around 8 degrees Celsius, and it gets much colder in the morning and evening.
What I find different from Japan is this difference in temperature.
While you could have spent yesterday in short sleeves, the next day the temperature can be so high that you need a down jacket.
During the day, the temperature can rise to around 20 degrees Celsius, but I always carry a light down or fleece with me when I go out.
In Switzerland in particular, there are many opportunities for lakeside and mountain walks, and in Europe there is a culture of enjoying meals on terraces even when the weather is somewhat inclement.
Therefore, it is very important to spend a lot of time outside and be prepared to keep your body cool. Small items to protect your neck, such as a scarf, are also recommended.
Furthermore, Switzerland is drier than Japan, making it easier to become thirsty on airplanes and trains.
This is where "Ricola" herbal candies can help.
It is readily available at supermarkets and kiosks throughout Switzerland, and its wide variety makes it an ideal travel companion.
