Stockholm

What’s the weather like in Stockholm in September?

The busy summer crowds have disappeared, but the mild Stockholm weather in September still lets you have a great time around the city. Sweden’s beautiful capital will have good sunshine levels, with temperatures only becoming chilly in the evening towards the end of the month.

Geographical influences

Stockholm enjoys an idyllic setting by the mouth of Lake Malaren, in south-east Sweden. September’s drier than August and July and historically, the city has low rainfall compared to much of Europe. That’s because the western mountains in Norway block the south-westerly Gulf Stream winds and rain from reaching Sweden.
