On the territory of Sweden, two large natural areas can be distinguished, this is North Sweden (where the eastern slopes of Scandinavian Highlands are crossed by numerous wide deep valleys, which fit the elongated narrow lakes. On Mezzles, large areas are engaged by swamps. In some valleys there are significant ranges of fertile soils formed on fine-grained Sands and sublinks; they are mainly used under pastures. Agriculture in valleys is possible to approximately 750m. above sea level. North Sweden has experienced a relatively slight effect of man's economic activity and is quite rarely populated) and South Sweden (which differs from North Sweden with high population density. and a high concentration of industry and agriculture on its territory).
Within the more elevated northern Sweden, three vertical belts are distinguished:
- · Upper, including the eastern periphery of the Scandinavian highlands, replete with lakes;
- · Medium, covering a plateau NORRLAND with a case of sea sediments and peatlands;
- · Nizhny - with the predominance of sea precipitation on the plains along the western coast of the combat bay.
Within the southern part of the country are isolated: the plains of the Middle Sweden, the floater of the reslan and the plains of the Skåne Peninsula.
The climate can be added that since the territory of Sweden has a significant extent in the submeridional direction, in the north of the country is much colder and the growing season is shorter than in the south. Accordingly, the duration of the day and night differs. However, in general, Sweden is characterized by the magazine repeatability of solar and dry weather compared to many other countries of North-Western Europe, especially in winter. Despite the fact that 15% of the country is located behind the northern polar circle, and the whole it is located north of 55 ° C.Sh., thanks to the influence of winds that Atlantic OceanClimate is quite soft. Such climatic conditions are favorable for the development of forests, comfortable residence of people and maintaining more productive agriculture than in the continental districts located on the same latitudes. On the entire territory of Sweden, the winter is protracted, and the summer is short.
Water resources of the country are numerous Rivers of Sweden, among which there is not one very large, they all form a thick network and have no little important economic importance. Rivers, distinguished by rapid flow, are widely used for energy production. For many rivers, the forest alloy is conducted. The largest lakes of the Kingdom - Vennurn of 5545 km 2, vetere of 1898 km 2, Melogen Square at 1140 km 2 and Elairen Square, which is 479 km 2. These lakes are shipping and are important transport system countries are carried out different freight transportation. The numerous narrow elongated "fined shape" lakes in the Sweden Mountains are mainly for the forest. Exceptional painting is distinguished by Lake Siliance, located in historical center Swedish state.
Among the water channels of the state, the Götnya-channel has the greatest importance connecting the largest lakes of the country Venerns and vetere. Thanks to this channel, communication between important industrial centers is provided - these are cities like Stockholm in the East, Gothenburg on southwest coast, Jonchoping in the southern tip of the lake vetere and many other cities are spread in Medium Sweden. Other large water channels of Sweden - Elairen, Strightsholm, Trollhattan, which is laid around the waterfalls on the Elves and Hader rebetes, which is one of the first in the country acting so far.
Sweden (officially called the Kingdom of Sweden) is a state located in the northern part of Europe on the Scandinavian Peninsula (Scandinavian Peninsula). The area of \u200b\u200bthe entire territory of Sweden is about 449,964 km2, which is comparable to the area of \u200b\u200bUzbekistan. IN Russian Federation It would be placed about 38.5 Sweden! Nevertheless, the kingdom occupies a well-deserved 5th place in Square throughout Europe after Russia, Ukraine, France and.
Few know that Sweden is located beyond the feature of the Northern Polar Circle, which means that in winter there is a polar night, and in the summer - a polar day. Polar night and day are the phenomena in which the sun practically does not go beyond the horizon or does not come out because of it more than a day. To survive such periods of the kingdom to the residents of the kingdom have to take vitamins and fight with terrible reluctance to wake up early "at night" and fall asleep with the drizzling in the face of the sunny rays "during the day." But the Swedes are not sad and see in all the advantages: rejoice in the northern light and the ability to launch beautiful fireworks at any time of the day, charge with energy and positive mood from no minute not the outgoing sun.
Geographical position and geology
The length of the Swedish borders is 2233 km, while it is mostly of its borders she "comes" with the kingdom of Norway (1619 km), then with Finland (615 km), and the rest is the water border with the Baltic Sea and the Botanical Bay, as well as Several bays separating Sweden and Denmark. The kingdom also belongs to 2 sufficiently extensive areas of the Baltic Islands: Gotland and Eland, as well as somewhat very small.
Relief, Volcanoes and Mountains
It should not say that Sweden is rich in high mountains and volcanoes - vertices above 2,000 meters there are only 12, the highest of which is Kebnekay. The height is this mountain Ridge It is 2106 meters above sea level. And there are no active (acting) volcanoes in Sweden at all. Nevertheless, the kingdom has not passed the "natural disaster", which happened not so long ago - in 2010. One of the volcanoes rich in the seismic activity of Iceland under difficult for the pronunciation of the Russian-speaking man by the name Eyafyadlayukyudle began to erupt in March of that year. Incredible turned out to be the number of asholes allocated to the atmosphere. A huge cloud of ash carried by Western winds towards Europe. After Iceland, the sunlight was hidden from human eyes in Norway, Sweden, and then in almost all of Europe. The ash donkey is fast enough - less than a month after the incident of the sky over the European countries was clean. Despite the rapid falling of emissions for several days, the whole of Europe ceased to communicate with the rest of the world flights.
I had to cancel and transfer hundreds of aircraft flights. This event still remembers, many plots for news channels around the world have been taken about him. Some said that the ash cloud will reach Russia, but this never happened. Returning to the relief of the earth's crust. It is important to note that Sweden is not one big plain - at least the mountains there are not a lot, hills and fields, rocks, lakes and rivers are more than enough for such a small state. Wide coastline, which mysteriously froze a fresh coniferous forest. He hides the forest inhabitants engaged in their affairs, hides small villages, hides a lot of smallest streams, rivers and lakes. In the head immediately pops up the inspirational picture of the cold and secretive Northern European Kingdom.
Climate
Sweden is located in two main climatic belts - it is subarctic (in the northern and eastern parts of the country) and moderate (in South and Western). Most of the suboctic (as it is also called subojury), the parties are occupied by glaciers, it is there longer to polar days and nights, and the northern lights brighter. In terms of temperate climates, weather conditions are significantly softer. The main roles in the formation of the climate of the small kingdom were played by the Scandinavian mountains that are not transmitting winds that go from the Atlantic Ocean and the flow of golfstream, bringing moisture and warm in the cold northern country. Due to the high humidity in Sweden, many swamps, large precipitation and frequent fogs that attach the kingdom of the very Scandinavian mystery and maybe even Charm.
Reservoirs inside the state, on its mainland
The whole world knows Sweden not only by foggy forests, as if excessing freshness, but also a huge number of lakes. Only lakes occupy about 10% of the entire state area, and after all it is still rich and other reservoirs like rivers! In the kingdom, only those lakes that are exceeded 1 km2 more than 4000! It is difficult to imagine what is the total number, considering even the smallest, located in the midst of drechy forests. The largest in the area is considered Lake Venern with a value of 5519 km2, and the deepest - Gurnavan, to get to the bottom of which will have to plunge on 221 meters under the water! The largest, long rivers in Sweden are only 7: Tournellven (522 km), Dallenven (520 km), Mesalwen (470 km), Luleler (461 km), Kalixelven (461 km), Clarleven (460 km) and Indals Elven (430 km ). It is difficult not to notice that at the end of each name of almost any river of the kingdom there is a root-elven, that translated from the Swedish Alven means "River".
Flora Swedish Kingdom
Botany shared all vegetable world Scandinavian kingdom for 5 separate extensive "branches": the region of northern latitudes and mountain vertices; The field of forests with trees having curves of trunks, otherwise this territory is called "Crimple"; region of coniferous forests in the north of the state, which is the most extensive in Sweden); region of coniferous forests in the south of the state; Area of \u200b\u200bforests of pine and beech trees.
In addition to the zonal natural areas, there are esconsal: for example, numerous vegetation lakes are much richer, more magnificent than in the places relatively arid for Sweden, almost in every swamp (which, by the way, all together occupy about 14% of the whole area of \u200b\u200bthe kingdom) and their surroundings exist Its special microflora, unique vegetable world. Different types of forest occupy about 65% of the total area small country. If you add up these and the above data on the completion of the territory, it turns out such an amazing thing: about 90% of the entire small kingdom is occupied by nature, non-manual world, and only 10% allotted settlements With high numbers per square kilometer.
Some choose life in the depths of the dense forests or more often on the shores of lonely small lakes in wooden huts. Many city inhabitants are often chosen in such places to distract from the city bustle, from large number People and constant distracting factors, "hide" in a quiet and peaceful place near a small village. Many are engaged in meditation or yoga, practicing "communication with nature". In Sweden, a huge number of lonely hermites living in the wilds and devoting their lives only to themselves and nature.
A favorite "natural attraction" of tourists is one of the most ancient trees of our planet, whose age is at the assumptions of scientists more than 2500 years, and its roots are even more - about 9000 years they have not stopped their development and still do not die! His weight and volume are incomparable with nothing on the planet, without considering non-living nature and anthropogenic structures - this tree is an absolute winner, because it is the hardest and most huge size of all the living organisms of the Earth. The oldest in the world in the world was a giant sequirendron (the generally accepted name of the type of this amazing plant) scientists gave a separate "name" - General Sherman. This name it has acquired back in 1879 due to the Major General, Later, General of the Army, William Teums Sherman, who became famous in wide circles after civil War In the United States of America.
Fauna Sweden
Various types of mammals Sweden are quite scarce, but their number can be envied. In the northern part, especially in Lapland, see whole herds of reindeer - the usual thing. In coniferous and deciduous forests, ordinary for moderate climatic zones are found: foxes, hares, minor rodents, cunits, brown bears, lynks with wolverines and other similar species.
With a variety of feathered in the kingdom, things are much better - there are more than 340 species here, but they do not differ uniquely - swans, seagulls and ducks - an ordinary case for all Northern European countries. The same "fate" suffered both residents of rivers, seas and lakes - fish numbered about 160 species, which, like birds with mammals, are almost everywhere, for example trout, perch, salmon ...
At first glance, it is inexplicable that one of the many types of mammals of Sweden is the American norm. Where did she get here at all? The fact is that by bringing an amazing animal from the United States, no one suspected that he can strip across Europe, but, refuting their assumptions, and it happened. The population has increased so sharply as no one could expect, but now the American mink is the most ordinary for the residents of Sweden an animal, which, as it seems now, lived in their climate from the very beginning of time.
Ecology and protection of nature
In the kingdom of this moment Many national parks are solemnly open, as well as more than 1000 reserves. She became the first European state with the system of national parks - the first of these was opened at 9 last century! The government spent more than 400 million crowns of Sweden (translated into rubles at the present rate 400 million kroons are approximately equal to 2.87349725 x 10 at 9 degrees of rubles - an unimaginable amount) to conduct research and development of ecology in the country, in particular, in many ways to get rid of harmful exhaust gases And air purification. It must be said that all efforts did not go in vain - Sweden is the list of 10 of the most environmentally clean states of the globe.
On the way to our ultimate goal, the fjords of Norway - we did not cease to admire the pictures of the Natural Landscaping of Sweden.
Sweden is one of the few european stateswhere you can still see the wildlife, untouched by civilization landscapes, and people, the time of centuries living in the harmonic rhythm of the change of seasons. At the same time, it is a rich country with a modern industry, the products of which became a symbol of impeccable quality, and the population is socially protected
And lives in enviable for many prosper.
This is one of the largest countries in Europe, characterized by a variety of natural and climatic conditions.
The contrast between long summer days is striking here and just as long winter nights. In the summer, the sun in some parts of the Northern Sweden and the polar circle does not come from a skyskle around the clock, and white nights stretch and further to the south, where in June at night there are only short twilight.
A significant part of the Swedish landscape is represented by coniferous forests, in particular, pine, as well as widely stretching deciduous - birch, aspen - in the southern part of the country.
Some parts of the Scandinavian mountain range are distinguished by exotic flora, including, for example, numerous types of orchids.
In addition to magnificent landscapes, Sweden has a rich and diverse wild fauna - from bears and wolves in the north of the country to the roe and boars in the south. The country is also a rich Flora and a water life, which even more enriches its biological manifold.
The forests are moose, roeli, squirrels, hares, foxes, cunits, in northern taiga - lynx, wolverities, brown bears. Birds are about 340 species, and fish are up to 160 species.
wild cat
Sweden first in Europe - back in 1910 - began to create national parks, mainly in the highlands. It helped to protect part of the still remained in Europe wildlife from exploitation. There are also many in the country natural reserves and protected areas.
In Sweden, 16 national parks and nearly 900 reserves under the protection of cultural heritage.
Well, what to tell you or where to start a story about our nature in southern Sweden or, as our area, scone.
Scone / SKANE / - a very fertile edge, the black earth, besides, he always wanted war and the struggle between the Dania, under which the scone was almost 400 years and a little less under Sweden. For fertile lands, the scone was a long and exhausting struggle, and there were battles between the Danes and the Swedes, as well as the partisan war of the Skamts with the Swedes. Since the scone has been Danish for so long, and then it became Swedish, then the tradition, and the language, and the kitchen, and the architecture, everything was intertwined in a bright pattern very distinctive from all over Sweden. Even the flag took the color gradually and from the Danish and from the Swedish: the Danish flag is a red with a white cross, Swedish - bright blue with a yellow cross, and the Skonsky flag is a red with a yellow cross! Also, the language, even it seems to be spoken by Swedish, but the pronunciation and many words are from Danish. When people come to us from Central or Northern Sweden to us, they cannot be understood very often, what kind of screams speak about this!
The nature of South Sweden is amazingly diverse!
At all in the south, where there are such large for Sweden of the city, like Lund, Malmo, Yustad, Treleborg - Nature reminds more steppe with soft hills and small forests. There in the cities along the streets along the sea landed palm trees to create a truly sensation of the south! And this can be understood because the summer in Sweden is short and flies very quickly! Summer there is beautiful: the sea is warm and petty, huge sandy shores with dunes and heather, and the atmosphere of the southern european cities It is complemented by an almost idyllic picture, but in the fall and in winter ... there are almost constantly strong, penetrating through, wind, gray and low sky, a large moisture and rain - this is a typical autumn, and snow is added in winter, with the same permeating wind and icing of all Roads, such a feeling that you are going through the rink.
Well, just above, in the south-west, where geographically I live, in fact, the landscape is changing very noticeable: hills with award-keen granite stones, small robusts, custheently in the fields, lake and forests, consisting of birch, spruce, oak and beech. I live in a small osciller (as a district center in Russia - 14,000 thousand people) at the foot of Southern Hill / S; Dersen, where many forests from beech, oak, fir trees and birches. Highlight itself resembles a little small Switzerland: granite breaks, deep down down, and so cool and high slidesThat on them should be climbing, sometimes almost as climbers. Many millions of years Tama back, there was a ridge of volcanoes, pulling to the south, and now preserved in his collapsed, but obvious form, almost one with a visible outline of the round throat of the volcano and the lake in it that wears the mystical name one. One, this is the strongest deity in Scandinavian mythology as Zeus. Water in this lake, which is a depth of about 20 meters, the same energy and extraordinary, as, for example, Svetloyar, in Nizhny Novgorod. It is very unusual here: water, as if shining and shifted with light from the inside or from the depth and from the bottom, air bubbles are still raised, and therefore the earth is still breathing in this place!
And descend from the "Mountains" of the hill, so immediately open spaces with fields, farms, lasty and visible in the distance of the new "mountains" - the Goldiest hill, followed by a very famous town of Bostad - there are summer international competitions in the Bost Tenissa.
The sea surrounds us with almost all sides: in the south and south-east - the Baltic Sea, on South-Zapada -proliv, the Catarette between Helsingborg - Sweden and Helsinier-Denmark, and the whole strait is called Oresund, where the sea is warm, due to the golfstrum, which , in turn, gives us a sufficiently mild climate, in which beautiful roses, magnolia, hydrangea grow, walnut And many other exotic plants and trees. The shores are wide and sandy with dunes, where you can hide in the sand from the wind, with heath and huge rosehip, and slightly higher, in the direction of the Bostad / B; Stad /, the shores suddenly become steep and swear and resemble granite giants, asocying, in mine Eyes, with Scotland.
Yes, I forgot to say that after the CutAgath and High Cape Kulaberg, which is considered the highest place in the southern and south-west coast, the Big Bay -Selderviken opens or the UNGhelholm Bay, because she lies straight Perevi by the city of Engelholm, which means angel Hills. The beaches are considered the best in Sweden and therefore tourists travel from everywhere: Germany, Holland, Denmark and, of course - Sweden, and immediately behind the beach, the forests are beginning here, which here, for some reason, are called Sibirien (from Siberia - they are thick, Dry and stretch a somewhat kilometer). Here is the forest and landed a flying saucer, 63 years ago. She was put by a small monument to a person who saw her and communicated telepathically with the aliens! The man of this was the name of Yust Carlsson / g; Sta Carlsson / and this he built a small monument of a flying plate, which has been here for many years now, in memory of the event. This place, of course, is very unique: the huge diameter of the space that burned down when landing the plate , but over the years already overwhelms, but this space is visible so far and the energy here is also amazingly strong and positive - here you can sit and correct your health or simply charged energy.
And how much in Scandinavia / Denmark and Sweden / Dolmen? You will not believe - 4,500 !!! And most of them are scattered in the scone, in the south of Sweden, where I live. And what are the powerful these designs of Dolmen, who actually have several types here: overhead, similar to Gelendzhik dolmens and underground with travels to them and hill over them. The fact that there is an unusually strong energy, probably not a lot to say, as it is completely obvious from the history of dolmen. There, too, you can charge the energy and in your meditations just fly away into other dimensions or see interesting things. Only about one dollars in the south of Sweden can be written a separate book !!! But it may be another time.
There are also picturesque and energy-strong Vikings burials. You can meet them everywhere in Sweden, even in deaf forests. As a rule, they are recognized on standing and deeply flowing into the ground stones located on the helix. The central stone of this helix - always belonged to the head of this Vikings Clan, and then the other family members of this clan or tribe were already buried. Stones can act with pyramids or just smooth, but powerful boulders. In our osomtor, in the city park, next to the windmill, can be found under powerful oaks, which, of course, rose later on this place, several such spiral burials. When you put it in the center of this helix, you can recharge your energy system, and easier - health, these powerful energies that simply pour vertically from the center of these points. And if you do not really believe it or want to check the truthfulness of these statements, then please come to us in Sweden! Take the pendulum or, as we call, Pendel and check !!! The pendulum will be just overwhelming, wearing a circle and clockwise! And how many such burials, I myself saw in the Smolant Forests (Medium Sweden), collecting the blueberries and mushrooms.
In the speed highway E6, between Helsingborg and Landskrone, in the direction of Malmo-south, on the top of the sightseeing mountain, with which the island of the veins is perfectly visible, which was born and lived by astronomer and a scientist quiet brach, and also visited Denmark - Helsingør, coast and Then Copenhagen, then on the right on this bug, you can see the untouched mounds - the burial of noble vikings. And the Swedes do not rush to break the earth and bite into the past, they respect the land with respect and do not bother her for any occasion. After all, there are already all the evidence and all sorts of relics from the history, and they also spend the money of their budget very reasonable and blew! Probably, in this, they have, despite all sorts of crises, still relative to the stable economy! Well, and if someone still and decide to spread these and other mounds, well, so, let them try for your money, but I don't think that the inhabitants allow them to do.
Here we have extraordinary nature! And with reserves, and with unusual places of strength, and just with mushrooms, blackberry, with raspberries, rabbits, pheasants, deer and ... very glorious, hardworking people who need to understand and know, because the Scandinavian mentality and temperament is completely different than , Let's say Slavic, Russian or Ukrainian. People are very restrained, careful, shy and never impose with anything, even somewhere proud, can be said, but if they recognize you and love, it will be for all your life and will be friends too.
Well, I wanted to briefly write for you about the nature of our edge or the area that I selflessly loved, and the whole essay turned out ...
I will be glad if this will give you some idea about her - scone!
Welcome to us if you want to see it yourself and love it too !!
Memories o nicely spent once summer vacationThe childhood in the village always causes a lot of emotions in people. These memories are overflowed by the smell of strawberries, fresh hay and fresh-resistant branches, birds singing and other forest sounds. These are memories of catching crabs on fish heads and about fishermen, arguing their boats ...
Swedes are the world's largest lovers of nature. They are ready to spread on this topic how long.
Sweden is covered with endless forests, in which the Swedes in full family composition, fighting with countless hordes of mosquitoes, collect berries and mushrooms. Listening lovers go on boats and kayaks on the hundreds of thousands of lakes, preserved in their primaryness, if you do not pay attention to the dry cleaning, which they were subjected as a result of the acid rains that came from Britain. Those who love skiing are launched in hiking on the mountain slopes of Lapland, where silence is so absolute that the traveler can hear the most intimate thoughts of his companion. This phenomenon often serves in Sweden with a mitigating circumstance in many trials about murders.
The surroundings of Stockholm with their twenty-five thousand islands, mostly uninhabited - wonderful refuge for all lovers of nature. During the summer, tens of thousands of yachts, sailing and motor boats rushed into the waters of the islands, seeking the first to grab the most picturesque corners of sushi and secluded bays, the most noisy robies and the most beautiful rocks.
In these places, children are self-employed in Robinson Cruise, and adults in the meantime, as selflessly represent themselves who have not yet fallen into slave dependence on children. More large islandsThe apple trees and squeezing with poisonous snakes, remind youth about the entourage of some of the heads of the Old Testament and provoke them to try themselves in the role of the first people settled in Eden. And all the goes moving on the islands greedily absorb the sun's rays to the moment when the shine squeezed to the refusal does not hide them from them by the horizon for two months.
With the onset of winter, when the sea freezes, tourists from the continent leave the islands, and the number of islanders returns to a constant mark of 6 thousand inhabitants. Life on the islands, especially in winter, is not distinguished by a variety. It is said that when one of the inhabitants of the islands asked how they cope with the longing of their existence among all this silence and what they are doing here, he answered: "In the summer we breed and fish, and in winter, when the fish is not caught, then only We breed. "
Ecology
There are dreams from the Swedes: save nature, protect it from the destructive impact of man. And if you assume that the Swedes are generally capable of some passion, then we can say that they are given to the implementation of this dreams with all the passion, which only capable of.
Those magazines that previously published huge materials devoted to the development of space now give their pages exclusively to "RESAYKLING", that is, the industrial processing of secondary raw materials. In academic and industrial laboratories, scientists are looking for ways to transform agricultural waste into materials for food packaging. And one Swedish engineer even invented the internal combustion engine, which should operate on exhaust gases; Almost just: should work, but does not work. And in the marble halls of Parliament, the deputies produce much more waste paper than before - they are preparing raw materials for "Resykling".
But never seeing the Swedes showed greater concern to the preservation of the natural environment, as in working on the project of the bridge through the Strait of Eresund, separating Sweden from Denmark and connecting the Northern and Baltic Sea. The same strait separates Sweden from world civilization. The idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding a bridge across Erezund is as old as the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding the tunnel under La Mansha. Until recently, it could not be carried out due to lack of funds. And so, when the money for construction was finally found, the project was cut into sharp criticism due to environmental considerations. The reason for the disputes arises around the project was suspicable that the construction of the bridge will break the salt and oxygen balance Baltic Sea. And yet by July 1, 2000, the bridge was built, and the King of Sweden and Queen of Denmark was present at his opening.
Generally speaking, the transport artery, which now crosses Eresund is not a bridge in the full sense of the word. The project developed by the Construction Committee was provided for the creation of an eight-kilometer automobile and railway bridge starting to the Swedish side, which goes down - in the tunnel - and there continues his way to Denmark.
For the uninitiated, it remains a mystery that you can threaten the Baltic. What else can worsen the environmental situation in this inland sea after the decades of pollution from Poland, the former GDR and the Soviet Union lasting decades? Can something be added to this to add a bridge building, which and the bridge is only half? Rather, it would be necessary to take care that the water does not start to fill the neck of the tunnel in the midst of Eresund, because if this happens, then the bridge is in essence for nothing will not be anything or needed.
Climate
Weather in Sweden for every taste - it cares and lovers of coolness, and lovers "Ignoraye". In winter, the temperature can be found from cold to very cold, and in summer - from warm to very warm. There are no heat as in the equator and there are no colds as in the North Pole. It remains only to choose a place in the country for your beloved weather.
Sweden climate is under the influence of two main factors: the influx of warm wet air masses from the Atlantic and the penetration of cold dry air from the Arctic and from the North of Eurasia. A significant length of the country from north to south and a variety of relief determine large differences in the climate of the North and the South, East and the West of Sweden.
Despite the fact that 15% of Sweden's territory is behind the northern polar cool, and the whole country is north of 55 ° Northern latitude, in general, temperate climate soften the winds that are sophisticated from the non-freezing coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, here and people live more comfortable, and agriculture is more productive than in other countries located on the same latitudes.
In North Sweden, the fenced by the Scandinavian mountains from the Western winds and at the same time open to the northern and northeast, the more severe continental type climate with long frosty winter, short cool summer and moderate sediments is dominated. The average temperatures at the Norrland plateau are in January from - 10 ° in its southern part up to -14 ° in the plague, and in July - respectively from 16 to 14 °.
Precipitation, mainly in the form of snow, falls from 400 to 600 mm per year. Only on the slopes of the Scandinavian mountains along the border with Norway, the amount of annual precipitation reaches 1000 mm and even more. Weak evaporation and waterproofing of the underlying rocks lead to the overeating of the surface and severe wetlands.
Open Western and Southwestern winds South Sweden has a soft wet climate of sea type. Winter here is short, warm, the average temperature of January is about 0 °; Summer is cool, the average temperature of July is about 17 °, the precipitation is significant - 700-900 mm per year. The climate of the eastern regions of the Central Sweden is more continentile. average temperature January is - 4 °, July - 18 °. The amount of annual precipitation decreases to 500--700 mm. The climatic conditions of the Southern and most part of Central Sweden make it possible to achieve high crops of grain crops and perennial herbs.
For Sweden, very large fluctuations are characterized in weather mode from one year to another. If air masses from the Atlantic dominate, the winter is softer, and the summer is cooler and rainy, with a weakening of this effect, winter is more severe and frosty, and the summer is warmer and land.
