Hi Laisofun8,
On a typical August day it will be pretty warm in the valleys and a few degrees above freezing point on high altitudes such as Jungfraujoch and Klein Matterhorn. It’s best to dress in layers for such visits so that you can adapt to dropping temperatures. A wind- and waterproof jacket is recommended, as well as solid shoes.
However, weather is highly unpredictable and there’s no way of telling what it will be like during your visit in August. Please refer to myswissalps.com/weathe r. You’ll find links to climate averages there.
Thank you Annika . The information and websites are very useful for our consideration.
Good day
