In Gothenburg, 14 degrees were measured this morning, which is the warmest temperature in Sweden measured so late, says Magdalena Folestad, meteorologist at SMHI to TT.

The heat record applies to November 25. Almost 120 years ago, on November 23-24, 1906, it was equally warm in Västervik.

Even in Ullared and Hörby, it was an unusually warm Monday with 13.8 and 13.6 degrees, respectively.

The warm weather is due to the low-pressure system "Bert" which on Sunday drew up fronts with a southwest wind that brought warm air over the country.

However, the warmth will not last long, and already on Tuesday, it will swing back to colder air.

In the middle of the day, we have between five and nine degrees in the south, and further north, we are down to minus. It will be coldest in the northernmost Lapland mountains with minus ten, says Magdalena Folestad.

The warmest November day ever measured was, however, in Gladhammar on November 6, 2020, with 18.4 degrees.

Corrected: An earlier version contained an error about the heat record.
