What is Switzerland’s climate like in October?

I’m thinking of visiting Switzerland in October—what’s the climate like, and should I expect cold weather, rain, or early snow?

October in Switzerland is generally cool and pleasant. Daytime temperatures usually hover around 10-15 °C in the lower regions, while the mountains are colder and might even get an early snowfall. The entire October is famous for the peak of the autumn colors, moderate rainfall, and the weather is very changeable, so wear layers.

In October Switzerland is generally cool and crisp in color with the autumn coloration, it has warm days and cooler nights, it precipitates a lot in the lower part of the country and first snow in the higher ones, it is a good time to see the country, to hike and to see the foliage in the fall.
