Why

  1. SMHI's 1991–2020 normal mean temperature for June is 15.7 °C in Stockholm, 15.8 °C in Lund, 9.9 °C at Kiruna airport and 13.1 °C at Luleå airport.
  2. According to SMHI, the June precipitation normal is 62 mm in Stockholm, 63 in Lund, 66 in Kiruna and 74 in Gothenburg, up from 34 mm in Stockholm in May.
  3. SMHI's June sunshine normal is 277 hours in Stockholm, 243 in Lund, 232 in Kiruna and 299 in Luleå.

Details

The temperature gap between Lund and Kiruna narrows to about 6 degrees in June, from 12 in January. Luleå is the sunniest of the four places compared here in June, at 299 hours. The sunshine normal in Kiruna (232 hours) is nearly the same as in May (238 hours).

Tip

Precipitation roughly doubles from May to June in Stockholm (34 to 62 mm), so carry a light waterproof even on a month with 277 hours of sunshine.

A single June can be cooler than the normal in the north: SMHI's June 2025 table shows Kiruna at 9.1 °C (normal 9.9) and Luleå at 12.4 °C (normal 13.1), while Stockholm was at 16.2 °C (normal 15.7).
