Challenges of Sweden's Latitude

Sweden’s location on the globe brings some tough problems:

• Long Winters: In the northern parts of Sweden, winter can be very cold and dark. This makes it hard for farmers to grow crops and for people to travel.

• Short Summers: The warm summer months are only a short time, which means crops don’t have as long to grow.

Variable Climate: The weather can be very different along the coast compared to the inland areas. This can lead to unexpected weather patterns, which makes farming and using energy more challenging.

Possible Solutions:

1. Put money into renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
2. Build greenhouses, so crops can grow for a longer time.
3. Improve buildings and roads to handle the tough winter weather.
