Cold snap persists across Sweden due to high pressure

An unusually long high-pressure blocking is keeping the cold in place across Sweden for the coming week. Temperatures are expected to be very low, and warm clothing is advised. The phenomenon is described as a 'dome' holding the heat out.

Sweden is experiencing a persistent cold snap expected to last the entire coming week, with very low temperatures. According to meteorological observations, this is due to an unusually prolonged high-pressure blocking, acting like a 'dome' that prevents warmer air from entering the country. The article emphasizes the need for thick jackets to face the harsh winter.

Published on February 1, 2026, the report warns that the cold is here to stay because of this weather pattern. No specific temperature values are mentioned, but the tone is clear: it will be cold – very cold. This affects the whole country and requires preparedness from residents.
