The weather at the beginning of April has been below average, with snow and freezing temperatures in various parts of the country. The cold weather is expected to continue until Saturday, and the western parts of Götaland will receive snow or rain mixed with snow on Thursday. After Friday, high pressure will dominate, resulting in some cloudiness, and there may be a chance for sunny weather on Easter Eve. The southern parts of the country are expected to experience the highest temperatures, with temperatures over ten degrees from Saturday. Niklas Einevik, a meteorologist at SMHI, foresees the possibility of a lasting period of warmer spring weather. Spring seems to have arrived in many places, and after recent setbacks, it should now be able to advance across the country. The nights may still be chilly, but not as cold as they have been.
The beginning of April has been colder than normal, with snow and freezing temperatures in several parts of the country. It also looks like it will continue until Saturday.
– We will see some snow or rain mixed with snow on Thursday as well, including in the western parts of Götaland, says Niklas Einevik, meteorologist at SMHI.
– But after Friday, high pressure will dominate, albeit with some cloudiness. It is a bit difficult to forecast when it comes to sunny chances, but I would think that many people will get sunny weather on Easter Eve.
It is expected to be warmest in the southern parts of the country, with temperatures of over ten degrees from Saturday. In the northern part of Sweden, residents can expect temperatures of between five and ten degrees – and in some places the heat can come as early as Friday.

– You can say that the temperatures will rise throughout the Easter weekend to what is more normal for the season, he says.
– However, the nights may continue to be somewhat chilly or cold, but not as cold as they have been. Spring has arrived in many places, and after the recent setbacks it should now be able to advance across the country.
