  • Much of southern Sweden can expect warm, sunny weather on Sunday, with temperatures reaching around 20°C and slightly higher along the east coast and on Öland.
  • A high-pressure ridge will move through quickly before a low-pressure system brings rain from the west on Monday.
  • Unsettled weather will continue next week, while colder air could reach northern Sweden and bring subzero temperatures at night.

Southern Sweden is set for one more taste of summer before clouds, showers and colder air move in. Temperatures could reach around 20 degrees Celsius on Sunday, with slightly warmer conditions along the east coast and on Öland.

The improvement will not last long. “The high-pressure ridge is passing quite quickly,” said Hilda Westberg, a meteorologist at Sweden’s Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, SMHI.

By Monday, a low-pressure system will arrive from the west with rain. Southern areas are expected to receive lighter rainfall, while northern Norrland could see more. The following week will bring unsettled conditions, with clouds and showers across the country.

· Hilda WestbergAn SMHI meteorologist described why the sunny weather will give way to rain on Monday.

There may be a brief break on Tuesday, when the sun could appear through the cloud cover. Parts of Götaland could again reach around 20 degrees. From the middle of next week, colder air may move into northern Sweden, with nighttime temperatures potentially falling below zero.

That would not be unusual for the season, Westberg said. But the forecast remains uncertain. “There are also some indications that the cold air will not move down,” she said.
