    The daylight hours (hours between sunrise and sunset) vary a lot between the winter and summer months. People may expect to see the midnight sun during the summer, because they are in Scandinavia. But this is not true for Stockholm, because you are not far enough north in the country.

    In December you will only have 6 hours to enjoy the day. The sun will get up around 8:30 in the morning but is already setting again before 3 o'clock in the afternoon and that doesn't leave you that much time to do some sightseeing.

    In June it is a totally different world, and I love this time of year. Around the longest day (21 June) you will experience the long looooong days! There are 18,5 hours of daylight during those days, the day seems to last forever. The only disadvantage is when you are a light sleeper, as the night only last 5,5 hours.

    Average hours of daylight:
    Jan 6,9

    The winters are cold, but not as cold as you might think! And the summers are nice and warm, maybe not that hot, but than and again, maybe not as cold as you might think either :-) In January the temperature is on average -1 Celsius and in July the average temperature is a nice +22 Celsius.

    In the chart you can see the average weather for Stockholm. The upper brown line gives the average maximum temperature and the green one the minimum. The grey blocks indicate the amount of snow and rain per month and the sunny colour yellow indicates the amount of sunlight hours.

    Here is the weather in figures for you:

    Pretty bridge

    Look at this picture--it looks so peaceful, and so pretty. What the pictures does not show is the wind! I was freezing when I took this picture in May. Stockholm is situated on 14 islands between the Baltic Sea and the huge lake called Lake Malaren. I was freezing every time I crossed a bridge because I just did not have a light windbreaker, and I would recommend to bring one!

  • Sweden is a cold place. But of course, I come from the desert in the Southwestern U.S. We went in May & I was very cold. I was glad to have my leather jacket, scarf, hat, gloves & boots. I'm sure from June-August you dont' need such heavy gear. But the rest of the year, be prepared for cold!

    Lots of color & black & white film. tripod would probably be awfully bulky to carry around, but you might want it for your purposes.

    Make sure to take a windbreaker - take a boat tour and spend time along the sea - but it will be windy.

    Even if you visit Stockholm during the summer you should make sure to bring a set of warm clothes. You never know what the weathers going to be like. One day it can be really hot, the next super-cold and rainy.

    Mostly its warm and sunny though, but you can't always count on it.

    Be sure to pack windproof clothing - even though the sun might shine, the wind makes it quite chilly! This might apply to all seasons, because when we visited in May we experienced both sunny (and warm) and sunny (and chilly - aka windy) periods!
