Colder weather replaces slush in Sweden

After slush and above-freezing temperatures across much of the country, colder weather is approaching. A high-pressure ridge brings mostly dry conditions on Sunday, with sub-zero temperatures north of northern Dalarna and slight positives further south, according to SMHI.

Following periods of slush and above-freezing temperatures across much of Sweden, colder weather is on the way. On Sunday, a high-pressure ridge dominates, bringing mostly dry conditions nationwide. North of northern Dalarna, temperatures are generally below zero, while further south they hover at a degree or two above, reports SMHI.

The high pressure persists into Monday, with occasional glimpses of sun in Götaland and clear skies in the far north. From Tuesday onward, expect mostly dry weather with gradually cooling temperatures across the entire country. Parts of Götaland may still see some sun and daytime positives on Tuesday and Wednesday, but otherwise, sub-zero conditions prevail.

The high-pressure influenced weather is set to continue through the week, with temperatures potentially dropping further in the latter half, according to SMHI. This shift marks a transition from the milder conditions earlier in the period.
