Sweden Snapshot

Generally Sweden has a temperate climate thanks to the Gulf Stream, although above the Arctic Circle winter can get extremely cold. Sweden's northerly position has a definite summer advantage in that temperatures are rarely extreme and humidity levels are not high, with the average temperature during summer being 22 degrees Celcius. In the south, winter is generally mild with an average temperature above 0 degrees Celsius, but temperatures can vary greatly around the country. It tends to rain more in the months of March, April, October and November. July and August are generally the busiest months for tourism in Europe, outside of these times you will experience fewer crowds.
