What's the weather like in Stockholm?

The weather changes significantly with the seasons. Summers (roughly June to August) are usually pleasant and mild, with average daytime temperatures around 20–22 °C, and long daylight hours. Perfect for exploring the city and the nearby archipelago. Winters, on the other hand, are cold and snowy (or rainy), with average temperatures around 4 °C to –5 °C in the coldest months, and shorter daylight hours (6 hours of daylight in December!). Overall, precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, though late summer and autumn tend to be a bit wetter than spring. Snow is hard to predict and varies from year to year. The biggest changes for snow are definitely in December, January, and February.
