Facts: September in Sweden
In Sweden, September was very hot and provided rain and snow.
High summer heat was measured on eight days of the month, when the maximum daily temperature reached at least 25 degrees. For example, in Halmstad and Ullared, September was warmer than both July and August, something that has never happened since SMHI’s measurements began.
But September got off to an unusually wet start. In Uppland, Västmanland and eastern Dalarna, 24-hour rainfall was measured at several stations, which was higher than you would normally get throughout September.
Also, it was snowing. On September 20, Älvsbyn Norrland’s highest September temperature of 26.4 degrees was recorded, and Grüna woke up to the biggest September snow depth in all of Sweden since 2003. 38 centimeters of snow fell, but disappeared relatively quickly.
