Is it safe to travel to Sweden?
Sweden's file is thin. Over the last 12 months our sensors kept 8 events, 5 of them severe. Water and heat lead: 2 floods and 2 heatwaves, all four rated severe, plus 1 storm. Add 1 thunderstorm, 1 armed-conflict record and 1 travel-advisory record, the last two not rated severe. The country sits at level 0 on our 0 to 4 scale, the lowest we use. June carried 3 events, August 2, March 1. The hazards that truly have a season here are floods, heat, storms and thunderstorms, and they gather in the warm half of the year. Homicides run at 1.1 per 100 000 people, against a world median of 2.1. That number covers homicides only, nothing about theft or scams.
What it changes for a nomad
For a stay of several weeks, little changes. Come when it suits you. What gets recorded is weather, and it belongs to the warm months: June carried 3 events, August 2. A summer stay is the one where heat and heavy rain can reach your days, with slowed transport, a flooded street, a flat that holds the heat without cooling. Remote work stays easy, since these episodes last hours or days. March, May and July carry 1 event each, the lowest count we have. If you rent in summer, keep a way to sleep through a hot night. If you settle by a lake or a river, look at the water after a long spell of rain. Beyond that, the file is too thin to weigh on your dates.

To watch as a rule
- Floods after long rain or snowmelt: 2 episodes kept, both severe.
- Heat spells in summer: 2 episodes kept, both severe.
- Storms and thunderstorms in the warm months, with power cuts and slowed transport.
Good reflexes
- Read the official weather bulletins before heading out of town, then again on the morning you leave.
- When you sign a summer lease, check that one room stays cool or that a fan comes with it.
- During a hot spell, move your demanding work to the early morning.
- After days of rain, keep your gear out of basements and ground-floor storage.
- Before a storm, download an offline map and back up your work.
