Sweden has a temperate climate despite its northern latitude, mainly because of the Gulf Stream. In the mountains of northern Sweden a sub-Arctic climate predominates. North of the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets for part of each summer, and in the winter, night is similarly unending.

The average temperature in the seasons (°C):
* Winter: -1° in south, -5 to -1° in middle and up to -16° in the north.
* Spring: About 10°C in the south and middle and a bit colder in the north.
* Summer: 18° to 25° in south, 16° to 22° in middle and around 15° in the north.
* Autumn: A bit under 10° in the south and middle and often under 5° in the north.

When to go
May to August is best time because of warm and nice weather. August might even be unpleasantly hot and wet. Even if mid June to August is peak season, many hotels and hostels have discounts this time.

Winters are very cold but if you decide to go, you will find many interesting activities in popular resorts: skiing, dogsledding and snowmobiling.
