FORECAST SWEDEN
Sweden's weather models, rendered the way they deserve — on the country's own grid, from Smygehuk to Treriksröset, with every neighbour one click away.
Sweden on its own grid
LOADING…Drawn in SWEREF 99 TM, the national grid every Lantmäteriet map and SMHI's radar composite are made in — a transverse Mercator with 15°E straight up the middle — so the country stands the shape it has on the wall, 1,570 km of it from Skåne to the Torne valley, over the relief of the fjäll, the floor of the Baltic and every one of the lakes, with this hour of MEPS, or the latest radar sweep, laid on top. Coastlines and län lines are OpenStreetMap's, down to the skerries of the Stockholm archipelago as you zoom in. Click a län or a town for its forecast, a sea for its waves — or a neighbouring country to cross the border to its own site.

FREE · NO ACCOUNT · SMHI & FMI OPEN DATAModel Explorer
MetCoOp's HARMONIE-AROME at 2.5 km — the model SMHI, MET Norway and FMI run together, and the one SMHI's own forecast starts from. Temperature, precipitation and its form, gusts, cloud by layer, visibility, CAPE, and the 850 and 500 hPa charts.
Radar
SMHI's composite of eleven Swedish radars, clutter-corrected, refreshed every five minutes — what is actually falling, measured rather than forecast, from Ystad to Kiruna.
Ten-day Outlook
The European model on a Europe frame — where the Atlantic lows are queuing, whether the Scandinavian high holds, and when the cold arrives, ten days out, with the jet and the airmass fields aloft.
Baltic Waves
The WAM wave model over every sea SMHI's sjöväder names — Skagerrak and Kattegat to Bottenviken — significant height with the swell separated from the wind sea and the direction on every arrow.
The Sea Itself
Surface temperature, salinity and the currents — the bathing-water reading in July, the ice season's starting point in November, from the salty Skagerrak to the near-fresh Bottenviken.
Every place
Every residensstad, the coast and the archipelago, the ski resorts from Sälen to Riksgränsen and the Kungsleden trailheads — each with its own address, like /jamtland/are or /norrbotten/abisko.

Why this site exists
The model Sweden runs
MEPS is not a foreign model framed on Sweden: it is MetCoOp's, run jointly by SMHI, MET Norway and FMI, and it is where SMHI's own forecast starts. Here it is drawn hourly at its full 2.5 km, every field, on the frame Sweden's weather actually arrives through — from the Norwegian mountains in the west.
Metres per second, and Celsius
SMHI states wind in m/s, so the colour scale breaks there. Every ramp is pinned to absolute values, so a loop shows the weather changing and never the palette re-fitting itself — and a minus-thirty in Norrbotten looks like one.
Five products, one instrument
Flip MEPS against ECMWF, or against the radar, at the same valid instant, and any difference on screen is a real disagreement. Same colours, same framing, same time axis, same probe — pointed at different forecasts.
Part of a network
Forecast Sweden is the Swedish member of a family of model sites: Forecast Norway reads MET Norway, Forecast Finland reads FMI, Forecast Germany reads DWD, Forecast Britain reads the Met Office, Forecast Euro reads ECMWF, and weather.city covers places rather than models. MEPS is one model run by three Nordic services, so the same 2.5 km run appears here, on Forecast Norway and on Forecast Finland — framed for each country.
