After days of rain and unsettled weather, there’s good news for vacationers. According to the latest forecast, midsummer heat could return as early as the end of next week.
The recent low-pressure system is expected to linger for a few more days, but after that, the chances of significantly warmer weather will increase—especially in southern Sweden. The meteorologist Lasse Rydqvist says to Aftonbladet:
– That means we’re talking about real midsummer heat. In many places, temperatures could reach 25–30 degrees, especially in southern Sweden. In northern Sweden, however, it looks like temperatures will stay around 15–20 degrees, as clouds and rain will keep the heat at bay.
At the same time, he emphasizes that the rain has also had positive effects following a dry spell.
– This is much-needed rain. It has been dry in the forests and fields, and in many places there has been a risk of water shortages.
The initial forecasts for August also look promising, with several periods of warm weather before more normal temperatures are expected later in the month.
