(Lulea, south of the Arctic Circle) The people in Sweden, over 9 million people, live in three different climate zones (Trans-Siberian, humid-continental and humid-temperate).
And I am currently in the Trans-Siberian cold zone.
Now in summer, of course, compared to the nightmare of the heat in South(East) Europe, this is very good and pleasant.
The Trans-Siberian Climate Zone , also known as the Cold Temperate Zone, offers extremely cold winters and has only a short growing season of three to five months. Summers, on the other hand, are relatively warm and the vegetation is mainly limited to the typical coniferous forests of spruce, fir and pine, which cope best with the drought and cold temperatures.
There are still large, contiguous primeval forests with swamps and ponds here, because the low-lying ground frost does not allow the water to seep away completely.
The seasons are clearly recognizable, but there are high temperature fluctuations between summer (max. 30 degrees) and winter ( down to -40 degrees ). However, the annual average temperature is below 0 degrees, because most months are relatively cold.
However, since the cold is mostly dry, many people do not experience the cold as so extreme.
