As Sweden welcomes the first signs of spring, meteorologists and nature enthusiasts alike herald in the new season with open arms.

Meteorologist Lasse Rydqvist predicts the arrival of double-digit temperatures across the country, signaling a major shift in the weather pattern.

The forecast indicates a chain of low-pressure systems bringing in rain and wind, yet the sporadic sunshine promises a swift departure of any remaining snow.

Particularly in regions from Skåne in the south to Norrbotten in the north, the warmth is expected to be felt with near double-digit temperatures by mid-week.

Adding to the celebration of spring, the first crane of the season has been spotted at Hornborgasjön, a well-known lake in Sweden for observing the annual crane dance.

This sighting is a cherished marker of spring, typically followed by the gathering of large flocks by the end of March.

The meteorological spring, marked by consistent plus temperatures over seven consecutive days, is anticipated to officially commence in parts of southern Sweden by the end of the week.

These developments come as a pleasant reminder of the changing seasons, with the sun's increasing presence making a noticeable difference in the climate and the natural world.
