This is the immediate cause of a peculiar distribution of barometric
pressure, the result of which is that south-westerly winds, coming from the
warm seas, prevail over the whole of North-Western Europe, especially
during the winter. This gives rise to an abnormal increase of the winter
temperature on the Norwegian coast and to a considerable amelioration of
the cold season of the year in the interior and eastern portions of the
Scandinavian peninsula.
The great length of Sweden from north to south, equivalent to more than
V~ of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator, is in itself sufficient
to produce considerable climatic differences between the north and the
south of the country, which are further increased by two other causes.
