SWEDEN’S FLAG & MAP
CLIMATE OF SWEDEN
 Sweden has a much milder climate than most other regions
of the world that lie as far north. Sweden's climate is
influenced by the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean stream that
flows off Norway's west coast. Sweden's many lakes and the
gulfs of Bothnia give Sweden generally a relatively mild
climate.
 July temperatures in Sweden average 13 to 17 C. February
is usually Sweden's coldest month, with temperatures from -
22 to -3 C. In northern Sweden, winter temperatures often
drop to -30 C, sometimes even lower. Snow covers the
ground in southern Sweden from December to April, and in
northern Sweden the first snowfall is often already in
October. Most of the country is icebound in winter, but
special icebreaking boats keep the major ports open.
Northern Sweden lies in the Land off the Midnight Sun and so
has continuous daylight during part of the summer. The number of
days of continuous daylight increases as one goes farther north.
Southern Sweden never has continuous daylight, though it averages
19 hours of daylight a day in midsummer. In winter, Sweden has
similar periods of continuous darkness.
 In the northernmost areas of the country the sun never rises
above the horizon for about 2 months. Southern Finland has some
daylight each day, though it receives only about 6 hours of daylight
a day in midwinter. The winter night sky-especially in the northern
areas- often becomes enriched with brilliant displays of the aurora
borealis or Northern Lights.
 The Swedish people are very conscious of their lifestyle; they
do not like to be too showy, they love to share and they live in
moderation. Swedes are very conscious of how they live
affects people around them, as well as the environment. A
concept Swedes live by is Logom, which means “just enough”.
Swedish Homes
 Most Swedes live in towns and cities and have small families.
Their homes are spacious and bright and are insulated well to
keep them warm in the winter.
 There are also many famous pop singers
that have come from Sweden. These include
Abba, Ace of Base, Roxette, and The
Cardigans. Swedes also enjoy the symphony
and jazz.
Clothing
The national costume of Swedes is still
worn on special occasions. The men’s
national costume consists of embroidered
waistcoats, breeches and felt hats. The
women’s costume consists of a flared
skirt, brightly coloured apron, a waistcoat
and bonnets
Music
Sweden is famous for the popular Smörgåsbord, a large buffet
filled with fish, meats, cheeses, salads, omelets, stuffed cabbage
and sweets. Soups are also popular in Sweden.
SPORT AND HEALTH
There are a wide variety of sports in Sweden. Popular sports
include:
soccer, tennis, surfing, swimming, golf, skating, skiing, running
and hockey. Most Swedes receive about 4 weeks of paid
vacation per year and they often travel to the countryside to
enjoy various outdoor activities.
CRAFTS
The Swedes have a vibrant folk culture and enjoy many
wonderful crafts, known for their high quality. Woodworking is
popular in Sweden and tables, chests and small carved objects
