Hold Tight! The Sun is Coming Back
A Promising Warm Weekend Ahead During Christ’s Ascension Holiday
Swedes, grab your sunglasses and picnic baskets because the sun is making a comeback this long weekend! According to Kristin Sahlström, a meteorologist at SMHI, the Christ’s Ascension holiday is set to bring a warm embrace to much of Sweden.
From Raincoats to T-Shirts: A Shift in Weather
The holiday kicks off with some passing showers on Thursday, but don’t let that dampen your spirits. The temperatures aren’t diving into extremes; it’s not too hot, not too cold, hitting just the right sweater-weather sweet spot. As Friday rolls in, so does the brighter sky, especially across large parts of the country. In southern Sweden, temperatures are nudging upwards from comfy 10-15 degrees Celsius. But wait — the real treat comes over the weekend!
A Sunny Sneak Peek into Saturday and Sunday
Sahlström hints at a delightful prospect of up to 20 degrees Celsius in regions of Götaland and Svealand, making it a perfect time for outdoor adventures. Imagine basking in the sun with a delightful 15-20 degrees warming your skin. Even in southern Norrland, thermometers will climb to a pleasant 10-15 degrees, and if you’re in northern Norrland, look forward to 5-10 degrees.
Rain might try to gatecrash the party, but it seems it’ll mostly hold off. So, whether you’re in the mood for hiking, a lazy day in the park, or a scenic drive, it sounds like the weather gods are in favor.
Mild Monday and Toasty Tuesday
After a sun-soaked weekend, the early days of next week promise to keep the warm trend going with temperatures hovering between 15-20 degrees across most parts of Sweden. While we’re not quite back to the summer temps that graced the south last week, Sahlström reassures us that for spring, this is totally on point.
So, Sweden, it’s time to shake off the chill of the past days, soak up the sun and revel in the promise of a warm, welcoming outdoors. Whether it’s flipping burgers on the grill, sprawling out with a good book, or planting new blooms in your garden, the weather is rolling out a golden carpet. Enjoy the rays and happy Christ’s Ascension holiday!
