Climate
The Swedish weather service (SMHI) operates a weather station in Gäddede. The climate is subarctic with a significant maritime influence from the Gulf Stream. Gäddede is along with Storlien and Riksgränsen one of very few localities in Sweden that lies less than 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the open North Atlantic sea. As a result the effects on the local climate is greater than further inland or at the east coast. The maritime air often blocks continental air during summers, causing chilly temperatures. During some winters however, temperatures hover just below freezing when low-pressure systems are strong. Due to winter precipitation being high, Gäddede has a predictable snow cover for several months.
