The autumn holidays will offer good weather.
At least if you plan to stay at home and read a book.
One of the days it is a particularly good idea to stay indoors, according to meteorologist Johan Groth.
– On the night of Thursday, a low pressure storms in, he says.
The autumn holiday – or the reading holiday, which is the official name – is here.
And the newer name makes sense when meteorologists look at this week’s weather map.
– It’s a bit of a feeling that it’s reading holiday weather where it’s good weather to read a book, says Johan Groth, meteorologist at Stormgeo.
During Tuesday, a thick cloud cover lies and presses over the ends of the country, at the top of Norrland and in southernmost Sweden. In the rest of the country, there will be a break and even a chance for sun. But it won’t be particularly hot.
– It will be around five to ten degrees in the southern half of the country and around zero to five on the Norrland coast. You get to put on some fur, says Groth.
“Then it crashes”
The stable weather will continue during Wednesday, but on the night of Thursday, a low pressure will roll in over large parts of the country.
– Then it starts crashing. On Wednesday evening we will have rain all over western Sweden and during the night it will move on towards the Stockholm area and central Sweden, says Johan Groth.
– Thursday will be a real boring story.
Precipitation can fall as snow in areas such as northern Värmland and parts of Dalarna when temperatures briefly drop to zero. However, the snow cover will not last long. Towards the weekend it will clear up and the weather will be milder.
Hot in the south – cold in the north
However, the forecast for the weekend is still rather uncertain, according to Johan Groth.
– It will be a bit of a mixed compote. It can be up to twelve degrees in southern Sweden at the same time as the cold front is fighting its way up in Norrland, he says.
