dn.se has an infographic about this summer’s weather. As infographics go, this is a lousy one, but the information is interesting. Basically they count the number of days of “high summer temperature” (daily maximum of 25°C or above) for the last five summers. For Stockholm the count is 19 (for 2008), then 18, 28, 28… and for 2012, the count is 6.

Really, high temperatures are not my favourite thing, and I can’t say I’ve missed the heat much. But at the same time, it’s been a weird summer. I think we’ve been to the beach three times in total during this summer. That’s it.

And now even that summer is behind us. The evenings are chilly. Both yesterday and today we’ve had pouring rain while on our way home after nursery and school.
