About LDS missions in Sweden
There is currently 1 active LDS mission based in Sweden, in 1 city. The Sweden Stockholm Mission is based in Stockholm, the national capital. Every mission city is north of the tropics, so June to August is summer and December to February is winter.
Missionaries serve across areas set by their mission, which can reach well beyond the city the mission is based in, and they are transferred between those areas during a mission.
Local time in Sweden
Every mission in Sweden keeps Europe/Stockholm. The clock below is live, and follows daylight saving where it applies.

Missionary Tracker shows this clock next to your missionary, so nobody at home has to work out whether it is a reasonable hour to write.
Climate and seasons in Sweden
Every mission city in Sweden shares one climate class: warm-summer humid continental (Köppen Dfb). Warm summers and cold, snowy winters, with precipitation in every month.
Across those cities, the warmest monthly average high is 21 °C (70 °F) in Stockholm during July, and the coolest monthly average low is -6 °C (22 °F) in Stockholm during February.
Always use your Missionary Portal and your mission’s own “what to bring” instructions when deciding what clothing or equipment to pack. This describes the weather, not what to take.
Languages
The languages most widely used across Sweden are Swedish and Finnish.

- Finnish
This describes the country, not the assignment. The language a missionary is called to speak is set by the Church and stated in the call itself — it can differ from the languages above, and missionaries serving in the same country are not always assigned the same one.
Preparing to serve in Sweden
If you have received a mission call to Sweden, begin with the instructions in your Missionary Portal and the mission’s own letter — those are the only sources that speak for your mission. These guides cover the practical side nobody sends you: the paperwork, the shopping, the packing and the last weeks at home.
