Maseskar and Vinga marked the beginning of spring in Sweden on February 17, as defined by Sweden's national weather agency SMHI, which notes spring occurs after seven consecutive days of above-freezing temperatures. The onset of spring came soon after a significant snowstorm affected eastern Sweden. With temperatures expected to remain mild, spring's formal arrival in major cities is anticipated within days. Meanwhile, climate change has led to an earlier spring, although regions in central and northern Sweden will experience a delay, with spring traditionally arriving later in those areas, including Lapland where it can arrive by late May.
Sweden's national weather agency SMHI defines spring as seven consecutive days of average temperatures above freezing, which allowed areas like Maseskar to welcome it by February 17.
Despite a recent major snowstorm, temperatures have stayed above freezing, indicating that spring is likely to officially arrive within days in Sweden's largest cities.
