Photo: Fredrik Sandberg/TTIf you felt like summer 2017 never really got going in Sweden then it's not just a trick of the imagination, as meteorologists have now revealed the country experienced its lowest peak temperature for the period between June and August since 1862. The highest temperature, a meagre 28 degrees Celsius, was registered in Oskarshamn on June 18th and Kalmar on June 19th according to national forecaster SMHI. The last time the summer high temperature was so bad was 1922, and it hasn't been any worse since 155 years ago in 1862, when even the 28 degree mark wasn't reached. "Under all circumstances a Swedish summer should be able to perform better than what we witnessed this year," the forecaster concludes.
