Editing Simrishamn (section)

==Climate==
The nearest station to Simrishamn is in [[Skillinge]] {{convert|10|km|mi}} further down the coastline, also on the open sea. Skillinge has a [[oceanic climate|maritime climate]] with a moderated coastline and a slightly warmer interior during summers. Österlen has a drier climate than elsewhere in Southern Sweden, although it has no active weather station measuring sunshine. Even so, the cool temperatures of the [[Baltic Sea]] keeps the immediate coastline on average a couple of degrees cooler during July days than in places further north in the country or the western part of Skåne. This is due to the dominance of water in the surroundings, whereas the [[Mälar valley]] around [[Stockholm]] is surrounded by more land.

Especially during summer, [[seasonal lag]] is strong on the local coastline. This means that August averages the warmest summer nights and that September is a lot warmer than May as the sea water gradually warms. During winter, this maritime proximity of Österlen reverses the climate patterns and leads to average highs above {{convert|3|C|F}} on the coastline and frosts usually being weak even while frequent. Records for Skillinge began in 1995 and as such do not contain likely historical extremes. Simrishamn had an active weather station from 1951 that closed in 1996.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smhi.se/data/meteorologi/ladda-ner-meteorologiska-observationer#param=airTemperatureMinAndMaxOnceEveryDay,stations=all,stationid=54330| title = Open Data for Simrishamn|language = sv|publisher = [[Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute]]|accessdate = 28 April 2022}}</ref>
