Where does the temperature data come from?

From the MeteoSwiss 1 km climate-normals grid ({year}), sampled at the main settlement. This is deliberately not the territorial average, which for Alpine municipalities is far colder because it takes in the high, glaciated terrain — Zermatt's village reads about 3.7 °C, its whole area about −3 °C.
