The occasional rain showers of November are cold and can swiftly transition into snow, especially in elevated areas. With a further reduction in humidity, the air feels sharper, with early mornings and late evenings often accompanied by frost. The Fohn winds, though infrequent, might sporadically infuse the atmosphere with brief warmth. November stands as a testament to the imminent dominance of winter over the Swiss landscape. For visitors, it provides an opportunity to witness the country in a state of transition, with the remnants of autumn gradually succumbing to the embrace of winter.
