Stockholm braves coldest June

STOCKHOLM STOCKHOLM registered its coldest June weekend in 84 years, with temperatures hitting a maximum of just six degrees Celsius (43 Fahrenheit), meteorologists said on Sunday.
On Saturday, as blustery winds and heavy rain fell on the capital, “Stockholm reported a high of just six degrees. We have not seen such a low June temperature since 1928,” the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute said.
