Climate and Average Weather in Sweden

Sweden deals with no less than four different climate types. The southern part of Sweden has a temperate oceanic climate. The interior part of central Sweden experiences a temperate continental climate and the northern half of Sweden has a cool continental climate. In the mountains there is a Alpine climate.

Sweden, like all European countries has four distinct seasons. Characteristic are the relatively high summer temperatures and the fairly mild winters compared to the surrounding countries lying on the same latitude. The country benefits from the fact that it lies close to the mountains in Norway. These mountains largely prevent precipitation and large depressions. The mountains also provide warm temperatures during summer months.
