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

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.

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.
