Uppsala, north of Stockholm, receives around 570 mm (about 22 inches) of rain a year, similar to the capital, with a modest summer peak from convective showers typical of inland Sweden. Being further from the immediate coast, the city sees slightly less maritime influence than Stockholm, though weather systems moving in from the Baltic still shape much of its year-round rainfall pattern. The Fyris river running through the historic university city has occasionally seen elevated levels during heavy rain, though serious flooding is uncommon. Short summer thunderstorms remain the main source of sudden, locally intense rainfall. Because conditions can still shift quickly on a summer afternoon, radar is a useful practical tool for the city’s large student population. SMHI operates the national radar network.
