July was a wet and cold month in Västerbotten. It rained 2-3 times as much in the county as it normally falls in July.

The coast and the eastern parts of the county saw most of the rain while in the mountains it was slightly drier than normal.

The place with the absolute most rain was Kusmark, with a total of 203 millimeters throughout the month. The most intense rain, on the other hand, fell in Gunnarn, where between 13 and 14 on July 20 there was a downpour of over 25 millimeters of rain.

In total, there were only a few days in July when there was not a drop of rain in the county - in other words, there was rain somewhere in the county almost every day in July.

The cyclists in Umeå had to avoid the many puddles, albeit not the rain, during the wet month of July. Photo: SVT
