Sweden

The largest of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden is sparsely populated and is a land of extensive pine forests and the midnight sun. Its people are very relaxed and a liberal attitude permeates the culture, as do the long-held traditions and festivals that form a central part of Swedish life.

The south is, unsurprisingly, the most popular area for camping in Sweden. It’s dominated by two great lakes and is home to several historic ports, such as Gothenburg and Malmö. Its capital, Stockholm, is built on 14 small islands and is an attractive, vibrant city with plenty to offer visitors.

A stronghold of the Viking era, Skåne is a patchwork of forest and farmland, with castles and manors dotted all around. From here, it’s not far to Öland island, a favourite among holidaymakers who enjoy camping in Sweden thanks to its sandy beaches and rolling pastures.

Weather

SWEDEN WEATHER

It's important to note that Sweden's weather can vary significantly between the southern and northern regions. The parts of the north of Sweden, such as Lapland, experience more extreme weather conditions, including colder temperatures and a more extended period of darkness during winter. Sweden's weather varies significantly throughout the year due to its northern latitude and diverse geography.

Winters in Sweden are cold and can be quite harsh, especially in the northern regions. Average temperatures can range from -6°C to -1°C in the southern parts and even colder in the north. Snow is common, and many lakes freeze, making winter sports such as skiing and ice skating popular.

In Spring, temperatures start to rise, and the snow begins to melt. However, March can still be cold, but April and May are slightly warmer. Spring can be unpredictable in terms of weather, with occasional rain and fluctuations in temperature.

Summers in Sweden are short but can be quite pleasant. Average temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C, with the southern parts being warmer than the north. The days are long, and in the northernmost parts of Sweden, the sun doesn't set for a period known as the "midnight sun." This is a popular time for outdoor activities and festivals.

The beginning of autumn in can still be mild and pleasant, with average temperatures ranging from 10°C to 15°C in the southern parts. September is a popular time for outdoor activities where people are seen enjoying the last traces of warmth before the colder months arrive.
