I am an Indian citizen from Chennai, India. I am 68 years young and am travelling to Switzerland with my wife, 67 years young. Our travel is scheduled between the 17th and 20th of August, 2019.
Please let me know what would be the average temperature during this period, and generally speaking, what types of clothes we should take with us, particularly for an excursion to Jungfraujoch and Mt. Titlis.
Would we be able to rent boots and warm jackets for the day at Jungfraujoch to safeguard us from ice and snow?
Would we need to carry any medicine to prevent from high altitude sickness?

It still will be summer in Switzerland in August, so temperatures in most places (especially cities) are between 15 and 30 °C (60 - 90 °F). In the mountains it's fresher (not that this is a surprise), expect something between 0 and 15 °C (32 - 60 °F; that's air temperature, it will feel colder or warmer depending on wind and/or sunshine).
Details of course depend on your itinerary so you may want to check out
- Switzerland forecast
- Weather on Jungfraujoch
- Weather on Titlis
a few days before you leave, or during your trip.
As for clothing: If you just take the usual tourist trip to Jungfraujoch or Titlis, any closed boots should do (I wouldn't recommend sandals). Add a wind jacket, long trousers and maybe a second shirt or a sweater and you should be fine. On both destinations there are buildings on top so you also can enjoy the view without going outside if the weather conditions are really bad. In any case, don't forget sun protection and sun glasses!
PS: I won't give medical advice here, probably best to ask your doctor before departure. There are also some medical tips published by Jungfrau Railways, indicating that altitude sickness shouldn't be an issue but other conditions might.
