Ascension weekend is an opportunity for many to take a long weekend.

But already on Thursday, the chances for summery outdoor activities can skyrocket. 

- It will be an unstable long weekend with the greatest uncertainty on Friday.

No weather for the wedding celebrants, says Tora Tomasdottir, meteorologist at SVT.  

Friday is the day with the greatest uncertainty and depending on how the low pressure passes the county, it can be 15 degrees if the sun manages to appear.

In case of rain, temperatures of around ten degrees are expected.

The unstable weather looks set to continue for some time to come. 

- Only on Monday can it get a little nicer, but there will be no major shift in the future. 

Reduced pollen levels

This news is all the more gratifying for pollen allergy sufferers.

Low pressure and rain mean reduced levels of pollen in the air.

The levels of birch pollen have decreased.

- It has been dry lately and even though birch has started to decrease, the oak is blooming a lot now, Tora Tomasdottir adds and believes that the rain can still reduce these high levels.
