The weather on the evening of Valborg fair usually means everything from high summer heat to snow and rain, also far in the south.
But this year, the heat seems to be able to take a firm hold over the day.

18 degrees in Lund and Uppsala
SMHI’s meteorologist writes in an early morning commentary that a minor high pressure will come over Sweden from the southeast in the company of mild and spring-warm air, which will then spread over the entire country.
In the student cities of Uppsala and Lund, where the celebration is big, it is expected to be 18 degrees and mostly sunny.
In some places, in the far south and at the top of the north, there may be sun and clouds every other and maybe a shower.
Heat also brings with it the risk of grass fires in northern Götaland, snow-free parts of Svealand and southern Norrland.
20 degrees on the first of May
When it’s time for May Day celebrations, the heat remains and the sun means that it can be up to 20 degrees in some places.
On Friday, as it looks now, it could be colder again.
