Climate
Hoburgen has a marine climate with less differences between summer and winter than mainland Sweden. Its position on the southern edge of the peninsula ensures that wind mainly travel over the Baltic Sea, tempering the warm summers of around 20 °C (68 °F), preventing them from turning into heat waves. The very same effect ensures that Hoburgen rarely if ever gets cold winters by typical Swedish standards. Another effect is the seasonal lag causing August to surpass July on many years in terms of being the warmest month and February typically being the coldest.
