Weather in Linköping in July

A good month. July is a solid month to be in Linköping. You should expect rain on 16 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

July ranks 3 of 12 in Linköping. Only June scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain on 16 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 33.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 8.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 53 mm — roughly 54% of the month's rain in one day.

July is moderately variable: 19 mm in the driest year against 232 mm in the wettest, around an average of 99 mm. Roughly two Julys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 2.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 75%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

This is a turning point in the year — June and August sit on opposite sides of it, so the month contains the change rather than following it.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Linköping's year: 17.7 hours of daylight, losing 1.5 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 28.2 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Linköping versus nearby

If Linköping is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Stockholm is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 4 days less rain. Gothenburg is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.7 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: July is effectively as good as it gets here — 3 points behind June, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
