Hi Mike,

I was in Göteborg just once, it was a short visit in September. I have to say, even for a Dutch guy it was quite cold ;)

You should check http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/02526.html for example to check the weather…

Hi Mike—

I lived in Goteborg for three years, from 1998 to 2001. Because of the Gulf Stream (yes, it does go that far north), the climate on the west coast of Sweden is quite moderate. A valid weather forecast for anytime of the year is 50 degrees F and rain (it does rain a lot).

To get to your question…summers are usually 65-70 degrees F for a high, with lows in the 50s. Winters are usually 30 to 35 degrees for a high, with low-to-mid 20s for a low.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I LOVED it there…

Hey Mike,
I’m from Göteborg, Sweden. You should totally come here and live for a while! :-)

As Bucko38 said, it does rain quite a lot, mostly during late October to late April. It’s kind of windy too.

We have 4 different seasons, that all differs. During winter it sometimes snows, but it usually melts away in a few days. Temperatures from -5 to +5 degrees celsius.

Spring can get rainy but that’s when the light returns. Winter is really dark. Temperatures from 0 to +10 degrees celsius.

Summer is beautiful. Best weather usually in July and beginning of August. Temperatures around +15 to +25 (but right now it’s over +30!).

Fall is my favourite. It starts raining in late september/october, but there can be some beautiful days anyway. Temperatures from +15 to 0 degrees celsius.

I would like to compare the climate of south Sweden (it’s very different in the north) to New Yorks, but cut off the extremes (the humidity in the summer and the icy cold in the winter).

Let me know if you want to know something else and let me know if you decide to go here!
