Regardless cold, coolish or normal, or warm springtime ( in the month of may); Nature does its thing, being primarily a blossoming month. It is really fascinating. Even the lack of rain in the past 3.5 month in Stockholm - nature still blossoms like nothing ever happened - which I find fascinating.

Now, that more rain is on its way, and most likely will continue during the upcoming week - that surely serves nature a great deal.

Perhaps it is a good thing, that summer isn't rolling in big times - given the lack of water. Especially over Southern Sweden, where warnings of too low groundwater levels have been issued by SMHI.

 

No more graphic charts / overviews at SMHI ?

It is a pity that SMHI took away the monthly graphics over rainfall in Sweden, where you would see how much rain had fallen each month, easily visible if it was too much or too little. Now, it is just numbers, you have to gather yourself. You never get a graphic overlook of Sweden and its monthly rainfalls. They also did the same with temperatures, as well a graphic overview of how much it was too cold or too warm. It's all gone. Just frikkin' raw numbers left.

Really, really stupid.

In my opinion. Unless i failed to find them, since they have been reorganizing the whole site. But i have been searching a lot, and really couldn't found those graphic charts anymore.

[Note: They are there still - but they moved them somewhere else on the SMHI site. Later I found them ]
