Kungsbacka weather — measured locally, corrected against the outcome

Kungsbacka lies in the wind shadow of the Onsala peninsula yet open to the Kattegat in the west. A south-westerly onshore breeze therefore produces completely different weather than a brisk north-easterly across Fjärås Bräcka, which is why KULING measures locally instead of trusting one model grid box.

Local weather character in Kungsbacka

  • Sea breeze off the Kattegat usually pushes inland during summer afternoons, cooling coastal districts while inland Fjärås stays several degrees warmer.
  • Kungsbackafjorden and the Kungsbacka river raise sea level whenever westerly wind meets low pressure; the gauge data comes from SMHI's ViVa stations.
  • Frost settles in the hollows along the Kungsbacka river valley on clear nights well before the wider inland freezes.
