“Summer weather was miserable – now there’s proof,” says this article out of Sweden.
According to the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), on only six days this summer did the temperature reach more than 25 degrees Celsius in Stockholm.
Last year, Stockholm had 28 days with summer weather, ie days with a minimum temperature of 25 degrees. This year, just six days met this definition – 4 days in July and two in August. Recent summers have not even come close to having as few summer days.
Gothenburg had only five summer days this year. Malmo had nine, about as few as last year.
There has also been an unusual amount of rain, says Lisa Frost, meteorologist at SMHI.
The month of June was the wettest ever recorded in Stockholm, where precipitation has been measured since 1786
