Mild Weather Returns to Sweden After Cold Snap

From spring warmth to minus degrees and snowfall – it has, in classic April style, quickly swung in the weather the past few days. For large parts of the country, mild weather is forecast for the coming days, according to the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.

Many got a good sun kiss earlier in the week, with temperatures up to 20 degrees.

Just in time for the weekend, the weather has become clearly colder, but already on Sunday it will get a bit milder with slightly higher daytime temperatures. Around ten plus degrees in the southern half of the country, a few degrees colder in the northern half.

It looks like the slightly milder air will stay in place at the beginning of next week, says Christopher Greenland, meteorologist at SMHI.

For northern Sweden, it will be windy, as a low-pressure system moves in from Norway.

The low-pressure system looks like it will culminate sometime during the Wednesday day. Even if there may be sunny moments, the wind will make it feel colder than it actually is, says Christopher Greenland.

Those hoping for a new heat wave will have to wait. It's not sandal weather yet.

It's still the cooler air that remains over the country, says Greenland about next week's weather.

SMHI warns of a high risk of grass fires during the weekend in large parts of the country.
