Editing Norrbotten (section)

==Climate==
Norrbotten has an inland climate with larger differences between summer and winter, sheltered from the ocean by the mountains. The weather is variable between days and sometimes cold air from the arctic cools down summer days, and ocean air can give temperature above freezing mid-winter. Norrbotten gets a thick snow cover in winter which melts away in April or May, which keeps temperatures down until then.

The summers can bring surprisingly warm temperatures for such northerly latitudes, and Norrbotten holds the all-time high temperature record for the entire Norrland at 37&nbsp;°C (98&nbsp;°F).{{cn|date=April 2025}}

The winters are usually very cold, and the Swedish cold temperature record is {{convert|-52.6|°C}} measured in [[Vuoggatjålme]] in southwest Norrbotten.
