What's the Weather like in Stockholm in April

Stockholm, the largest city in Sweden and, in fact, in Scandinavia, lies on the coast of the Baltic Sea at the mouth of gorgeous Lake Mälaren with its hundreds of islands.

Sunshine

8 hours of sunshine per day on average provide a generous amount of time to discover the historic and architectural wonders of the city. April is the quintessential spring month, characterised by rising temperatures and increasing sunshine. 8 hours of daily sunshine is quite a lot for this particular destinationhe previous month of March, for example, had only 4 hours.

Daylight Hours

This drastic increase is mainly due to the similarly large increase in day length, which is typical for the spring season in a northerly city like this. 1st April has 13.17 hours of daylight, while 30th April enjoys 15.49 daylight hours, a day-to-day increase of 5.1 minutes.

Temperature

In addition to plenty of sunshine, the afternoon high temperature of 9°C provides fine, crisp conditions to stroll down the narrow streets of the enchanting Old Town. At night, the mercury drops to an average low of 1°C. The overall day temperature is 5°C on averageot particularly warm quite yet, but definitely pleasant enough for urban exploration.

Sea Temperature

Swimming is out of the question, however, as the sea temperature averages a bone-chilling 3°C this time of the year.

April does have the joint lowest number of precipitation days: 11. The chance that precipitation will occur drops a bit in the course of the month, from 51% to 45%.

Snowfall still occurs occasionally in April, moderate snow being recorded on 19% of those 11 days with precipitation and light snow on 18% of those days.
