Editing Visp (section)

== Climate ==
Visp features a warm-summer [[humid continental climate]] (Dfb) according to the [[Köppen climate classification]]. Precipitation is lower than in other parts of Switzerland due to its location inside the high mountain ranges of the western Alps, which shields it from the precipitation falling both south and north of the Alps.
