The Swedish summer often contains bright sun and high temperatures initially followed by rain, rain and more rain.
That’s how it has looked this year as well. Initially, the whole country was treated to a really high pressure, which then eased off just in time for midsummer. Since then, the weather has offered heavy rain showers, thunder and floods.

SMHI: This is how the weather will be this weekend
During Friday, many people woke up to sun and warmer weather than we have seen recently. But the question then is where the high pressure will be felt the most, and how hot can it be this weekend?
SMHI’s meteorologist Sofia Söderberg now tells Nyheter24 that the change will be felt in several places. But that the forecast that was initially predicted can sway a bit.
– There is a weak high-pressure situation this weekend across the country. During Friday we have some low pressure in the far north. During Saturday, the high pressure will be over the whole country. From time to time, changing cloud cover with changing showers may appear generally across the country, she says.
The areas that can expect more unsettled weather are eastern Svealand and Norrland where occasional showers may appear during Saturday and Sunday.
– If you look generally, it is in southern Sweden that it is most sunny with temperatures up to 25 degrees throughout the weekend.

Into next week, however, it may be the end of the high summer weather.
– At the beginning of next week, low pressure will start coming in from the southwest. After that, it will be low-pressure weather in several places with changeable weather where the sun can only peek out a bit into the week, says Söderberg to Nyheter24.
