Weather Conditions in Sweden
Despite its northern location, Sweden is blessed with a mostly temperate climate. It enjoys four very distinct seasons. So, the temperatures traverse the scale between ice-cold to pleasant. Similarly, your best time to visit Sweden will vary according to the experiences you are after.
A winter Swedish holiday will let you enjoy the northern lights spectacle as you drink hot coffee around a camp fire. Whereas in summer, you could just kick back by the lakeside or explore the country at your leisure. The winter is more keenly felt in the north while summer enjoys a longer stay down south.
It mostly rains in Sweden between August and December. After December, the rain continues with snowfall. If a bit of rain doesn’t bother you, then this should be the best time to visit Sweden as it is the peak season.
This is the best time to visit Sweden for winter sports. The ski resorts are open in full swing. You could try skiing at one of more than 200 skiing resorts around the country. The Nobel Prize ceremony is held in December. It is followed by Vinterfest, one of Sweden's biggest classical music festivals and Stockholm Design Week in February.
If you’re looking for low prices, then spring is the best time to travel to Sweden. The greenery wakes up after a winter hiatus and everything takes on a fresh look. You can enjoy Walpurgis Eve or be a part of Stockholm Culture Night, which has around 300 free cultural events taking place throughout the city.
Summer is a comfortable time in Sweden. This could be the best time to visit Sweden as it is the time for outdoor events and attractions. Like the locals, you can spend your days and evenings by the lake or simply venture out to explore the cities. Celebrate the Midsummer Eve by dancing around the Maypole or enjoy the International Festival of Folkdance and Music from the audience.
Fall in Sweden is a wet season. Though it rains throughout, the temperatures still remain pleasant. If you’re a book or music lover, this is the best time to go to Sweden. You can attend the Göteborg Book Fair in September. Or you can choose to attend the Stockholm Jazz Festival and groove to the blues.
