One of the strange things (for Dutch people living) in Sweden is spring (and autumn) time. In The Netherlands we know four seasons. You will have a real springtime, it takes from February/March to May or June, before the real summertime starts. After that you will have sometimes a little after Summer but mostly a real autumn. With a lot of rain, dark skys and slowly getting colder and colder. In Sweden you have more just Winter and Summertime. It is very cold or warm. Not that much in between. When you are lucky you have 2 or 3 weeks Spring or Autumn. So you can slowly get used to coldness or warmth.
Like last year, we had still snow in the beginning of April. After that, in only 2 weeks,
really hot summer weather (around 30 degrees) from May till August.

After a very long and warm summer last autumn was like an Indian Summer
(called Brittsommar in Sweden) I'm very curious what we will have this year....
