Norway: The warmest winters, the most oceanic, the cloudiest and wettest of the bunch. Coolest summers for the most part. Has got some mountain climates and drier more continental valley microclimates, although few with weather data and none with sunshine data, although sunshine probably will be pretty bad.
Best if you want to avoid cold weather or want to visit the arctic without freezing. Also has the most microclimates. Perhaps the most diverse.
Sweden: The southern parts have got the warmest summers of the bunch, with sunshine only rivalled by coastal parts of Finland and a few parts of Denmark. Stretching pretty far north and can get the shared coldest climates with Finland. Best if you want sunny and warm summers.
Finland: Very similar to Sweden but slightly more continental and slighty cooler per latitude, and doesn't stretch as far south, so generally lacking oceanic climates. Sunshine is good, rivalling that of Sweden and precipitation is similar, although Sweden might have a little less on average.
Best if you want cold winters together with the warm summers.
Denmark: Cooler summers than most of southern Sweden and Finland, but warmer winters. Generally cloudier as well. Lacks continental climates. Rainfall is generally 600-900mm.
Best if you don't give a shit about the northern parts of Fennoscandia. Warmest national average temperature but the least diversity.

Norway 100 times of 100. Bergen, Oslo, Karasjok, Vardö, Tafjord, Sunndalsöra... Amazing variety.

Sweden because we have the strongest summers and definitely the most sunshine as well. North of Uppsala/Falun it's just wank but south of that it's as good as it gets in this part of the world. Sweden gets 22.5-23C summers by the sea as north as 59N. Granted Turku gets there because Åland but nevermind  Turku is like an isolated microclimate of Finland whereas Sweden has this vast land area beneath 60N that all other countries in there lack. Just Sweden south of Stockholm is probably 1.5 times of Denmark's land area. |

I agree with Lommaren. I see a point in voting Denmark because all of Denmark is better than the northern half of Sweden. However, Sweden's best parts are better than anything Denmark can offer. Copenhagen is a cloudier and cooler summer version of Malmö, and they completely lack the combination of warm summers AND sun. Even Visby, an island in Sweden is warmer or as warm as most of Denmark, but has 20-30% more sunshine, especially in the summer. Norway is just too rainy and cool in the summers to be held up by their warmer winters.

Even Kuopio gets 22.4C highs in July at 62.5N: ![]()  Lappeenranta in the far SE gets 22.8C:  |

It's pretty much got the warmest summers despite lying on the coast and having the mildest winters on the mainland, as well as a high amount of sun. |

Yeah, just look at Lappeenranta's winters  Turku really benefits from being nearest the warmer parts of the Gulf Stream in the entirety of Finland. It's a godsend for any Finn that wants a decent climate so I fully understand you're glad you live there buddy |

Helsinki Airport is identical to Turku. So is Salo, halfway between the both. Winters might be slightly cooler in Vihti, Lohja and Porvoo, but not the other months. Perfect representative of the southern provinces. Some coastal areas like Helsinki Centre, Kemiö and Hanko have slightly warmer winters. |

The Hanko peninsula is the most maritime you'll find on the mainland. Of course you take a hit in summer:  And just for fun, here's the FMI predictions for late in the century:  |

summer differs very little between the countries. i'd not think you'd notice any difference jun-aug, whether your in helsinki, oslo, stockholm or copenhagen.
anyway, finland for the winters and continentality.

Sweden, since it easily has the strongest summers.

Following that same model Nyköping would probably look something like this in 2085 (although it's a crazy exaggaration that won't happen especially when the sun loses activity rather soon).  It'd be a nice climate to retire in though We've probably got a Somali majority in this town by then anyway so hopefully I'll have fucked off to Azores or something. |

The country will be empty by then, since they'll all be living in Nykoping |

I'm gonna retire on my plantation in Rostow near Don, which came into EU hands after Barbarossa 2041.

Sweden because the southern parts get the best summers combined with the shortest winters. Denmark just seems pretty much like my own climate with colder winters so too boring, Finland has winters that drag on too long because it doesn't extend far enough south, Norway seems too cloudy and wet apart from the SE.
Norway has by far the most interesting range of microclimates though, so it still comes second.
Sweden
Norway
Finland
Denmark

People keep mentioning Norwegian microclimates. Any examples?
