Editing Gothenburg (section)

=== Climate ===
Gothenburg has an [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb'' according to the [[Köppen climate classification]]). Despite its northerly latitude, temperatures are quite mild throughout the year and warmer than places at a similar latitude such as [[Stockholm]]; this is mainly because of the moderating influence of the [[Gulf Stream]].<ref name=gulf>{{cite web |last1=Andersson |first1=Leif |title=Vad händer med Golfströmmen? |trans-title=What happens to the Gulf Stream? |url=http://tellus.science.gu.se/seminarier_och_kurser/golfstr_mmens_framtid |website=gu.se |publisher=[[University of Gothenburg]] |access-date=26 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120232805/http://tellus.science.gu.se/seminarier_och_kurser/golfstr_mmens_framtid |archive-date=20 November 2015 |language=sv}}</ref> During the summer, daylight extends 18 hours and 5 minutes, but lasts 6 hours and 32 minutes in late December. The climate has become significantly milder in later decades, particularly in summer and winter; July temperatures used to be below Stockholm's 1961–1990 averages, but have since been warmer than that benchmark.

Summers are warm and pleasant with average high temperatures of {{cvt|20|to|22|C|F}} and lows of {{cvt|12|to|15|C|F}}, but temperatures of {{cvt|25|–|30|C|F}} occur on many days during the summer. Winters are cold and windy with temperatures of around {{cvt|-1|to|4|C|F}}, though it rarely drops below {{cvt|-20|°C|°F}}. Precipitation is regular but generally moderate throughout the year. Snow mainly occurs from December to March, but is not unusual in November and April and can sometimes occur even in October and May.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.smhi.se/nyhetsarkiv/sasongens-forsta-snofall-i-gotaland-kallt-i-norr-1.13420 |title=Säsongens första snöfall |trans-title=The season's first snowfall |publisher=SMHI |access-date=27 October 2015 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304052042/http://www.smhi.se/nyhetsarkiv/sasongens-forsta-snofall-i-gotaland-kallt-i-norr-1.13420 |url-status=live}}</ref>
