Malm�, 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 latitudes, or even somewhat farther south, mainly because of the Gulf Stream. Because of its northern latitude, daylight extends 17 hours in midsummer, to only around 7 hours in midwinter.
Summers are warm and pleasant with average high temperatures of 20 to 21 �C (68 to 70 �F) and lows of around 11 to 13 �C (52 to 55 �F), but temperatures do sometimes exceed 25 �C (77 �F) and occasional heat waves are common during the summer. Winters are fairly cold, with temperatures steady between -3 to 4 �C (27 to 39 �F), but it rarely drops below ?10 �C (14 �F).
Rainfall is light to moderate throughout the year with 169 wet days. Snowfall occurs mainly in December through March, but snow covers do not remain for a long time, and some winters are virtually free of snow
