Climate of Göteborg

Gothenburg has an oceanic climate according to Köppen climate classification. Despite its high northern latitude, temperatures are quite mild throughout the year and much warmer than places in similar latitude, or even somewhat further south, mainly because of the moderating influence of the warm Gulf Stream. During the summer, daylight extends 17 hours, but lasts only around 7 hours in late December.

Summers are warm and pleasant with average high temperatures of 22°C (72°F) and lows of 13°C (55°F), but temperatures of 25 - 30°C (77 - 86°F) occur on many days during the summer. Winters are cold and windy with temperatures around the freezing point, even though it rarely drops below −10 °C (14 °F). Winters are much warmer than other places in same latitude, and are not colder than either Canada and most of northern United States.

Precipitation is regular but generally moderate throughout the year. Snow mainly occurs from January to March. Snow cover occurs but usually does not remain very long.

GET IN GÖTEBORG

Air
Göteborg-Landvetter Airport is an international airport serving the Gôteborg region in Sweden.  It is Sweden's second-largest airport. It is operated by the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (Luftfartsverket). The airport is named after the small town of Landvetter, which is located in the municipality of Härryda. It is located 20 km east of Göteborg.

Göteborg's second international airport is Göteborg City Airport formerly known as Säve Flygplats and Sweden's 7th largest airport. It is located within the borders of Göteborg Municipality. In addition to commercial airlines, the airport is also operated by a number of rescue services, including the Swedish Coast Guard.


Sea
The Swedish company Stena Line operates between Göteborg/Fredrikshavn in Denmark and Göteborg/Kiel in Germany.

The "England ferry" (Englandsfärjan) to Newcastle over Kristiansand (run by the Danish company DFDS Seaways) ceased at the end of October 2006, after being a Göteborg institution since the 19th century. DFDS Seaways' sister company, DFDS Tor Line, continues to run scheduled freight ships between Göteborg and several English ports, and these have limited capacity for passengers, but not private vehicles. There are also freight ships to North America and East Asia.


Rail and intercity bus
Other major transportation hubs are Centralstationen (Göteborg Central Station) and the Nils Ericson Terminal with trains and buses to various destinations in Sweden, as well as connections to Oslo and Copenhagen (via Malmö).


Public transport
With over 80 km of double track the Göteborg tram is the largest tram/light rail network in Scandinavia. The bus network, however, is almost as important. There are also some boat and ferry services. The lack of a subway is due to the soft ground on which Göteborg is situated. Tunneling is very expensive in such conditions. There is also a commuter rail in Gothenburg servicing nearby some nearby cities and villages.
