Weather in Malmö

Weather — Malmö

Malmö weather is typically maritime and mild for its latitude: cold but not extreme winters, cool to warm summers, and rainfall spread through the year.

Expect frequent cloudy or partly cloudy days, a steady breeze off the Öresund, and the wettest months around midsummer.
