The Central Plateau, housing cities such as Zurich and Bern, experiences temperatures that usually hover between 3°C (37.4°F) and 10°C (50°F). With the decrease in temperatures, there is a notable rise in the demand for heaters and warm beverages, as residents and tourists alike brace for the chill.

In the mountainous regions of the Jura and the Alps, November brings a tangible anticipation of the ski season. Snow begins to blanket the higher elevations, transforming the landscapes into winter wonderlands. The Central Plateau primarily witnesses rain, though occasional snowflakes aren't uncommon towards the end of the month. Precipitation levels range from 813mm (32.01") to 1321mm (52.01"), with more frequent and sustained periods of rainfall. The days continue to shorten, and the daylight becomes noticeably subdued, fostering a tranquil ambiance.

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.
