Sundsvall is the 19th largest city/town in Sweden with 99k inhabitants. But in relation to its size and significance, it's got a horrendously poorly representative airport station. There was a station within the city limits until 1981. During 1961 to June 1981 while the two stations were operating at the same time, the city station had 0.6'C warmer highs and 0.9'C warmer lows, and in January, the mean differed by 1.8'C. Here are the weatherboxes: And here are the locations of the two stations. As you can see, the city station is barely even within the UHI. (Red marker is the city station's old coordinates, and the blue marker is the airport)

This seems normal to me since most US cities have stations that are outside the UHI. The city stations for Milwaukee and Madison stopped in the 1940s or 1950s. Madison is outside the UHI, Milwaukee probably was back then but is now a UHI station again. There is a station downtown but not an official one with a good POR.

Without actually checking, I'd guess Timrå is in some kind of depression or frost-hollow and/or Granlo is just more exposed and thus has higher lows in winter.
