Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

For Stockholm, Sweden, the climate data cover 2013–2023. Monthly mean temperatures range from -1.1 °C in January to 17.8 °C in July, giving a broad sense of the contrast across the year without representing daytime highs. The year-round picture also includes changing daily rainfall, sunshine and snowfall patterns, each of which can matter when planning time outdoors.

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest at -1.1 °C in January and reaches its highest point at 17.8 °C in July. These are monthly averages, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broader feel of each month rather than the range visitors might experience within a single day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 7.6 °C. This provides a compact year-round reference, but it is not a day-weighted annual average and does not indicate how temperatures vary from day to day.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest at 0.46 mm/day in February, a useful option for visitors prioritising lower average rainfall. The highest monthly mean daily amount is 2.30 mm/day in August, so rain preparation remains sensible then; neither average guarantees dry or wet conditions on any particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall amounts is 1.42 mm/day. These figures describe average daily amounts, not monthly totals, and do not show how frequently rain occurs or how it is distributed across individual days.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest level at 13.67 hours/day in June and its lowest at 1.39 hours/day in December. These averages can help with planning daylight outdoor activities, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not promise clear skies on a given date. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily sunshine figures is 7.50 hours/day. It is a broad reference across the calendar months rather than a prediction for particular days.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly level at 6.35 mm/day in January. This average records snowfall amount, but it does not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or whether conditions are suitable for skiing. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily snowfall amounts is 1.90 mm/day. As a daily average, it should not be read as a monthly total or as evidence of persistent snow on the ground.

Best Travel Time Guide for Stockholm, Sweden: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant reference, with a monthly mean temperature of -1.1 °C; pack for the possibility of colder conditions, while remembering that a monthly mean does not describe every day or daytime highs. If lower average rainfall is the main criterion, February is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.46 mm/day. By contrast, August has the highest monthly mean daily rainfall at 2.30 mm/day, making rain-ready clothing a practical choice; these averages cannot guarantee the weather or quantify the frequency of rainy days.

For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in June at 13.67 hours/day and lowest in December at 1.39 hours/day. These are separate sunshine criteria, not a combined ranking of when to visit, and sunshine duration does not indicate day length or ensure sunshine on a particular outing. Snowfall averages are also worth keeping in perspective: the highest monthly mean daily amount is 6.35 mm/day in January, but this alone cannot tell visitors whether snow will be present during a trip or indicate snow depth and ground cover.
