If you think Sweden is a rather cold place, you better think again! This summer is officially the hottest\u00a0for years, and yesterday, the highest temperature since 1994 (all time high is 38 degrees, from 1947) was measured in Sk\u00e5ne, in the south of Sweden. The people of M\u00e5lilla had to cope with a sizzling 35 degrees and similar temperatures were measured all over the country.<\/p>\n

In addition, in a number of places in Sk\u00e5ne, Gotland and around Stockholm, temperatures stayed above 20 degrees throughout the whole night, which officially makes it a so-called tropical night. (Read: A night when it’s fricking impossible to sleep…)<\/p>\n

Tropical nights! 35 degrees! I can’t get my head around this.\u00a0Okay, I\u00a0have had great and\u00a0hot summers in Sweden before, but I can’t recall any other heat wave hanging around for\u00a0this long. A week, tops. But hey, this wave seem to\u00a0like\u00a0it up\u00a0there and I am crossing my fingers and praying to any weather god available that it will stick for another few weeks, since I am stuck in a sizzling office probably breaking some all time highest temperature ever measured in an office-record… As Marcus explained here<\/a>, almost all of Sweden is off on their loooong holiday now, which 1. Makes it impossible to work, because all emails you send are instantly replied by an “Autoreply; Out off the office” . And 2: Makes it almost unbearable to even have quick glance at Facebook, since everyone “is swimming, BBQ-ing, drinking wine, enjoying the sunshine, hanging on the beach….”.<\/p>\n

So. Let’s talk about the weather for a bit! What’s it like where you are? Any heat wave hanging around your place?\u00a0Colds naps? \u00a0Thunderstorms?<\/p>\n

Some weather vocab for potential conversations with Swedes:
\nWeather = V\u00e4der
\nHeat wave = V\u00e4rmeb\u00f6lja
\nTropical night = Tropisk natt
\nBreeze = Bris
\nSweaty = Svettig
\nAir Condition = Luftkonditionering
\nSunshine = Solsken
\nThunder = \u00c5ska
\nForecast: Prognos<\/p>\n
