The record temperature of 19.5°C was recorded in the
city of Kristianstad in the south of the country on Friday.
“This is the highest temperature ever recorded in
Sweden this late in the year,” Erik Hojgard-Olsen, meteorologist at the Swedish
Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) told AFP.
While not the highest temperature recorded for the
month of October — that was 24.5°C on October 9, 1995 — it has never been
warmer than 19°C this late in the year, and that temperature was last recorded
in 1963, Hojgard-Olsen explained.
He said the October weather overall had been a few
degrees warmer than normal in Sweden.
Though a direct link to climate change could not be
drawn from a single day record, the meteorologist said that overall “we are
continuing to observe high temperatures and that is in line with a warmer
climate.”
