Local context
What to expect in September
Autumn in Gothenburg is often underrated: 17°F, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Expect rain on 45% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. Not the best window, but acceptable if dates are constrained. June (7.4/10) is significantly better if possible.
