The meteorological spring appeared and disappeared just as quickly. The temperature has been lower than usual in most parts of the country – but there is a brightening on the horizon. – Then we seem to get a shift, otherwise it would be extremely unusual, says Madeleine Westin, meteorologist. In recent weeks, low temperatures and snowfall have put an end to spring feelings in large parts of the country. The culprit in the drama is the arctic air that swept down over Sweden. – We have this cold Arctic air that has moved south over the country and encountered slightly milder air and it is in the boundary air now that we have this snow moving in, says Madeleine Westin. “Normal way it’s spring” Right now the temperatures are a good bit below what is normal. In some parts of the country, the difference is as much as ten degrees. Usually, the meteorological spring has crept up over Värmland, but that is not the case this year. – Normally, it is spring in a large part of Värmland this year, but that is not the case now. So it will arrive much later than usual, says Madeleine Westin. Then spring will come According to recent forecasts, the temperature during the first two weeks of April will be below what is normal. But after that, you should be able to pack away the winter clothes. – If you look at the whole of April, the temperatures will be below what is normal and a lot of precipitation areas will move in, says Madeleine Westin and continues: – But then, in two weeks, we still seem to get a shift. The weather stabilizes and temperatures rise.
