After a few days of spring warmth, a weather shift hits Sweden, with wind and cooler temperatures approaching from the Norwegian Sea. Meteorologists warn it may feel like autumn, with temperatures around 4–9 degrees in most parts of the country. The warmth lasts only a few more days before low-pressure systems take over.
Spring vibes have spread across Sweden in recent days, with sunny weather drawing people out for walks and outdoor seating. Temperatures have reached up to 15 degrees in eastern Skåne and along the east coast, feeling like 20 degrees in sheltered spots, according to meteorologist Lasse Rydqvist at Klart.
But the joy will be short-lived. From mid-next week, the weather is expected to turn, bringing wind, clouds, and rain in places. Low-pressure systems from the Norwegian Sea will lower temperatures, especially in the north where snow may fall toward the end of the week and next weekend.
“It could be the first setback for spring,” says Lasse Rydqvist.
SMHI meteorologist Viktor Bergman agrees, describing the change as autumn-like: “It will feel more like autumn.” Temperatures will remain stable between 4 and 9 degrees in most parts of the country, warmest in Götaland and Eastern Svealand, while the northern mountains hover around zero.
Despite milder weather in the mountains, Bergman is not concerned for Easter. “It would take quite a lot for there not to be snow in the mountains at Easter; there's still about half a meter in the larger parts of the mountain world,” he says.
Rydqvist emphasizes that these are normal temperatures for the season and typical for spring-winter in Sweden, with rapid shifts to be expected.
