Summer Temperatures in Sweden: Better Than You Think

peeterssandra

Remember summer 2024? Central Europe drowned in rain while Spain and Italy baked in 40°C heat. Meanwhile, we enjoyed perfect 23°C days in Sweden. Yes, you read that right!


When we told people we were leaving Belgium for Sweden, the reactions were priceless. "But it's freezing up there!" "You'll never see the sun!" "What about the endless darkness?" We heard it all.

Since then we have already enjoyed four consecutive summers with perfect weather. In Sweden, really!

Summer temperatures

Let's talk about what summer really feels like here. Daytime temperatures maintain a steady 20-25°C throughout the season. It's the kind of weather that invites you outdoors and keeps you there.

Speaking of outdoors - forget those Mediterranean beaches where you hop from umbrella to umbrella to avoid heatstroke. Our lakes reach a pleasant 22-25°C, while the air stays fresh. You can swim, hike, or bike without melting or seeking air-conditioned refuge.


"But doesn't it rain all the time up there?" This question makes us smile. Sunne actually enjoys a remarkably balanced summer climate. When rain comes, it's brief and predictable. You'll typically see a quick shower that passes within an hour, followed by the return of sunshine. This reliable pattern makes it easy to plan outdoor activities.



Sunshine all day (and night)

Now, let's talk about something truly special: our incredible summer light. The sun shines from 3:30 AM until 22:30 PM, giving you almost 19 hours of daylight. Imagine enjoying dinner on your cabin's deck at 10 PM, still in full sunlight!

And yes, everyone asks: "How do you sleep when it's light all night?" Don't worry – our cabins come well-prepared with proper blinds. Plus, after active days in the fresh air, you'll be surprised how well you sleep. And for the light-sensitive among us, a sleep mask is your new best friend - think of it as your Swedish summer souvenir that actually gets used!


Perfect for planning trips

Evening brings another delight as temperatures cool. Perfect for gathering around a campfire, stargazing, or enjoying a late-night barbecue. These pleasant evenings create magical moments for outdoor dining and memory-making.


For families, this reliable weather transforms holiday planning. You can confidently schedule multi-day adventures, knowing the weather will likely cooperate. From morning hikes to afternoon swims, your outdoor plans can actually happen as intended.

Summer in Värmland feels like what summer should be - a season of endless possibilities, comfortable temperatures, and long, light-filled days perfect for outdoor living.

OUR INSIDER TIPS:

  1. Visit in June when spring turns to summer. Nature explodes with wildflowers and the days grow incredibly long leading up to Midsummer (around June 21st). You'll experience the magical 'spring-summer' transition when everything bursts into life. Bonus: tourist spots are still quiet before peak season starts.

  2. Pack like a Swede: light cotton layers, a cozy sweater for campfire evenings, and comfortable walking shoes. Our balanced climate means you can leave the heavy weather gear at home.
