How about a trip to Around the Baltic Sea
A Brief Summary
The word “Baltic” is often used to describe something really cold and yes, the Baltic region in winter is very cold and snowy, but summer is different. From eastern Sweden, to Finland and down through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, this region sees long, warm summer days and a lot of sunshine. Temperatures are similar to the UK in July, but sunshine amounts are considerably higher (on a par with Barcelona), so perhaps a trip to northeast Europe could be a change to your standard Mediterranean offerings and experience the cultural differences of these Baltic and Scandinavian countries

About the Weather
Almost 2/3rds of Stockholm’s annual sunshine come in the months May to August, with June being by far the sunniest month of the year. Part of this comes from the relatively settled conditions seen across the Baltic region during this time of year, but also from the northerly latitude and long summer days across eastern Sweden. Summers here are short, but warm, averaging 22°c from June to August, with 30°c reached several times a year during warmer spells. Nights average 14°c in summer and rain is seen every 3 days on average in the form of heavy showers. Autumn is mild and bright to begin with, but quickly cools and becomes much more overcast, with increased rain and snow by November. Winters are cold, cloudy and snowy, with little sunshine and temperatures above 5°c unusual from December until early March. Spring starts cold and cloudy, but is the driest season and quickly becomes sunnier, although takes until May to warm to 16°c.
