| A not uncommon "summer" 2112 evening in the Øresund region |
Sweden was almost summerless this year. In most parts of the country there were only about six or seven "high summer days", that is, days with temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius. Last year there were 28 of them.
Still, at least in the south of Sweden, there were some nice days for sailing, surfing and bathing. And the almost daily rain clouds created some dramatic visual effects ....
Below are a few memories of the the summer that wasn't:
 |
| It started in a rather promising way in the middle of May |
 |
| May 30 was rather nice too, but the clouds had started gathering .... |
 |
| On June 2 the clouds already were looking more dramatic |
 |
| June 6 was a great day for sailing in the Sound |
 |
| The view from the northern end of the Hittarp reef on June 17 |
 |
| Dark skies over Øresund on June 18 |
 |
| The water was still fairly chilly on June 19, but this young man was ready for a swim after some initial hesitation |

 |
| July 15 was a nice day with lots of beautiful cumulus clouds - and a neighbour who was returning from a refreshing bath in the already fairly warm Sound |
 |

 |
| August 1 was one of the many excellent wind surfing days in Øresund last summer. (Kronborg castle behind the surfer) |
 |
| There were quite a few spectacular sunsets last summer. This one is from August 15. |
 |
| On the 21 of August this gentleman did some stretching after a nice swim |
 |
| On August 25 this kite surfer reached a good speed in front of the Hittarp reef |
