Practical weather notes for Abisko

Abisko lies in Swedish Lapland, in the rain shadow of the mountains along the Norwegian border. That makes it unusually dry and often clearer than the surrounding area, and one of the best-known places in Europe to see the northern lights. Winters are cold, but less severe than further inland thanks to the nearby mountains and the Norwegian coast.

Seasons in Abisko

The aurora season runs from about September through March. Around the winter solstice the sun stays below the horizon for about a month. In summer the sun does not set at all, and Abisko is a popular starting point for hikes along the Kungsleden trail.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Abisko.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
