High Temperatures Expected to Persist in Sweden Amid European Heatwave

Sweden is bracing for a continuation of high summer temperatures as a heatwave grips Europe. Following warm weather in France and Spain, meteorologists predict that temperatures in Sweden will also climb significantly in the coming days.

Erik Höjgård-Olsen, a meteorologist at SMHI, stated that certain regions in Sweden could experience temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. This warm spell is attributed to a high-pressure system originating from the south, which is expected to reach southern Sweden on Thursday and persist through the week.

It can be over 30 degrees in some parts of the country.

While the initial days after a sunny Midsummer weekend might see a slight dip in temperature, the heat is anticipated to return swiftly. Southern and southeastern parts of the country are expected to be the hottest, with temperatures potentially surpassing 30 degrees. Other areas in Götaland and Svealand will likely see temperatures above 25 degrees, while coastal and inland areas of Norrland will experience temperatures just over 20 degrees.
