Temperature measurements began in 1756 in Stockholm. The current record is 1994 with an average temperature of 21.5 degrees, and although it remains a little over a week before Christmas, 2018 has already reached that temperature.
– We are already here and we will see in the forecasts that it will be very hot next week too, so this value of 21.5 will increase. And nothing indicates that the forecasts are false, says the SMHI meteorologist, Bengt Lindström, at SVT Nyheter
Little cool
It has been a little cooler in recent days and it has also rained in different parts of the country. But from next week, it will be hot again. Especially in the southeastern parts of the country one can expect more than 30 degrees. In Stockholm County, a Class 2 warning was issued for extremely high temperatures
– What characterizes this summer is that the heat remains intact. Any day over 30 degrees is not remarkable, but it has been incredibly persistent, it's sensational, says Bengt Lindström.
Heat in this way does not help the prevailing fires.
– Although rain helps some, it will return to very high fire risks. You will fight with the fires and there will surely be more, "says Bengt Lindström.
The summer is not short
The Swedish heat record is 1933 and 1947, then the temperature was measured at 38 degrees. A few decades later, in 1975, it became 36.5 degrees. But in the summer of 2018 beats it remains to be seen. However, it has already reached the record number of days 30.
– This is because the summer is short, we can iron again this year, says Bengt Lindström
C is especially since the 80s that temperatures began Bengt Lindström explains that this increase is significant in Sweden. A trend observed throughout the Nordic region. But it is probably wise to wait before completely redefining the term "Swedish summer".
– What we are currently experiencing is a transition to a warmer climate because it is difficult to know where we are landing, "says Bengt Lindström.
