One of the more intriguing Swedish climates and as northernmost as clear-cut humid continental climates get anywhere in the world, with September as warm as 11.7°C it's not even close to subarctic. While somewhat being reminiscent of the Canadian maritimes, Holmön is at a higher latitude, sunnier and more stable. It is also the first update to this weatherbox for a long time now, so Babu will definitely enjoy this.
My rating is an E+ - slightly worse than Umeå. Too bad warmth potential in summer, whereas winters are nicer than Umeå, although for those temperatures a bit more than the 125-130 cm of snow I'd expect Holmön to receive annually would be nice. After all, the maritime conditions won't help the snow cover stick quite often. In 2012 though, December was both cold and saw more than 100 mm of precipitation simultaneously, so it's prone to "fucken epic" weather on occasion too. As far as sunshine goes, the archipelago is probably sunnier than Umeå as Swedish offshore locations virtually always are, but I went with Umeå's sunshine since it's better than nothing and at least makes the pattern clear. I'd say there are between 1,920-2,000 hours annually out there.
