Chill Grips Sweden with No Warmth on Horizon

Published: 2024-04-20

As April draws to a close, an unseasonable chill continues to grip large parts of Sweden, with no immediate warmth in sight.

Meteorologists from SMHI have reported exceptionally cold air masses moving in from the north, keeping daytime temperatures around the freezing mark in northern Sweden and barely warmer down south.

In addition to the cold, parts of southern Sweden are expected to see rain, sleet, or even snow, complicating conditions for those who have already switched to summer tires.

Recent snowfalls in regions like Östergötland have prompted warnings for drivers, and the outlook remains bleak for anyone hoping for an early arrival of spring warmth.

Predictions extend the cooler temperatures and sporadic precipitation into the coming week, with a slight moderation by the month's end, but no significant warmth anticipated.
