Lund, like the rest of southern Sweden, has an oceanic climate. Despite its northern location, the climate is relatively mild compared to other locations in similar latitude, or even somewhat further south, mainly because of its proximity to the sea. Because of its northerly latitude, daylight lasts as long as 17 hours in midsummer, and only around 7 hours in midwinter.
Summers are warm and pleasant with average high temperatures of 22 �C (72 �F) and lows of around 14 �C (57 �F), but temperatures do sometimes exceed 25 �C (77 �F) and occasional heat waves are common during the summer. Winters are cold, with temperatures steady between -1 to 3 �C (30 to 37 �F).
Rainfall is light to moderate throughout the year with 169 wet days. Snowfall occurs sparingly, mainly in December through March, but snow cover does not remain for a long time, and some winters tends to be virtually free of snow
