Castle photo in the summerHighly suitable for a spring or summer break, the climate in Uppsala is at its most inviting at this time of the year, and the sunny weather at its strongest. However, Uppsala can be visited all through the year and although the winter climate can be a little chilly, the seasonal markets, Yuletide celebrations and hearty Swedish fare all combine to make the city all the more appealing.

Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

At times, the climate in Uppsala could be described as a little unforgiving, although in general, the weather in spring is quite uplifting, particularly after the cold winter months. Spring is a time when the whole of the city bursts into life and you can expect high levels of pollen, which is always bad news for those who suffer from hay fever. However, despite the increased daylight hours and plentiful sunshine, snowy weather as late as May is by no means unheard of in Uppsala.
