Liechtenstein experiences a continental climate with distinct seasons, characterized by cold winters and warm summers. The country's Alpine location creates a pattern where summer months (June through August) are the wettest, receiving 4.6 to 5.7 inches of rainfall, while winter and early spring are relatively dry with only 1.3 to 2.1 inches. Temperatures range from winter lows around 28-30°F to summer highs reaching 73-76°F, making it ideal for both winter sports and summer hiking. The climate follows a typical Central European pattern with four distinct seasons. Spring (March-May) brings gradually warming temperatures and moderate rainfall, while summer offers the warmest weather but also the highest precipitation. Autumn provides comfortable temperatures with decreasing rainfall, and winter brings cold temperatures with the driest conditions of the year. The consistent 70% humidity throughout the year creates a relatively stable atmospheric feel regardless of season.
