In the midst of this disastrous July, it's a bit easy to forget that June was the warmest on record. Also, rather remarkable in character, not very sunny and also with a crazy amount of thundestorms for being this early in the year. Sadly, right now the standard post-heatwave crash is happening already in July 
Nyköping was most likely 23.5/13.0 or something like that, as always, lower diurnals and warmer nights here due to the maritime influence being a little stronger than Norrköping has. I doubt it reached 30°C as well, probably 29.8°C or something - usually the most extreme days are where there's a difference, while the normal days are incredibly similar. The month also concluded with the most unbelieveable experience, the temperatures rising from 21°C to 27°C during my 15-minute walk where I suddenly started to sweat, right about 9 pm! That time of the day. In Sweden. In June. There are no föhn mountains around here, just saying!
July currently will probably end up 20/12 or something like that. I hope for a swift improvement, but I doubt it. At least, during below-average spells, Nyköping has as warm daytime highs as Norrköping. Weak consolation, but still.
Also, by the looks of things, April (!) will be the sunniest month of the year, unless August pulls off something spectacular.
