The summer weather of 2024 was quite typically Swedish in large parts of Sweden, that is to say unstable. But in several places, local weather records were broken.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has completed a preliminary summary of the summer weather in 2024. It is stated that there was generally unstable weather in June and July, while the weather was more stable in August.

In Götaland and Svealand, it was a relatively normal summer. However, in northern Norrland, it was a very warm or even extremely warm summer. At the Lapland stations Karesuando, Abisko, and Katterjåkk/Riksgränsen, the old records from 1937 were broken or matched.

Records were also set in Nikkaluokta, Naimakka, Tarfala, and Överkalix-Svartbyn, although the measurements do not include 1937.

In Kiruna, the summer was the second warmest after 1937.

Throughout Sweden, only two tropical days were recorded, i.e., days when the daily temperature did not drop below 20 degrees. These occurred at Storön in Norrbotten on July 24-25.

Locally, the summer of 2024 was the wettest in a long time in several areas. The people of Norrköping experienced a record rainy summer. The old record of 303.4 mm from 2011 was broken with a narrow margin.

Gällivare experienced the third rainiest summer observed there since 1954 and 1961.
