Summer is almost here and there will definitely be plenty of great days to spend outside in the sun. But as we all know, Swedish summer also brings rain…

Summer is the time of year that attracts most people to outdoor activities thanks to the warmth and sunshine. Now we can finally have barbecues, sit outside and socialize in the evenings, sunbathe and swim, go for walks and just enjoy the Swedish summer. However, it wouldn’t be a real Swedish summer without rainy or cold days…

Here are some tips on what to do at home when it rains during your vacation or summer break.

10. Work out indoors

Do you find it hard to sit still? Or do you want to improve your workout routine? It’s great to work out at home without any special equipment. Check out workout videos on YouTube that you can follow.

9. Play online

Dust off your gaming console or computer and play something fun while the rain beats down on the windows.

8. Play board games

Board games give you a break from technology and allow you to invite family or friends over. Just be careful when your friends' competitive instincts come to life. It quickly becomes clear who the good players are and who the bad losers are.

7. Do a puzzle

Sitting at a table and doing a puzzle can be relaxing and a form of mindfulness. Get a puzzle with the right amount of pieces so you don’t lose interest halfway through.

6. Look at Pictures

Look through old photos on your phone and computer for a nostalgic trip. Take the opportunity to make a backup so that all your memories don’t suddenly disappear if your equipment breaks. You can even develop your favorite photos or make a photo book out of them.

5. Clean Your Home

What do the clothes in your closet really look like? Take the opportunity to get rid of clothes you never wear and donate them to a thrift store. Go through your closets and sell or donate items that are just collecting dust and taking up space.

4. Bake Something Delicious

Baking doesn’t have to be as complicated as you think, and the smell of freshly baked goods is simply divine. Find a recipe for bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls, cookies, or shortbread and let the oven heat up.

3. Read a classic

Make a cup of tea or coffee and read a classic book. Maybe a Swedish book like The Emigrants by Vilhelm Moberg, Selma Lagerlöf’s The Saga of Östa Berling, or Per Anders Vogelström’s My Dream Town? It’s both informative and a new topic to talk about with friends and acquaintances.

2. Call a Friend

Do you have a friend or relative you haven’t spoken to in a while? Take the opportunity to call them. Many people will appreciate what you’re thinking of them.

1. Watch TV Shows

Yes, it’s perfectly normal to sit on the couch and relax with a bowl of popcorn and a TV show. Catch up on your favorite reruns or watch documentaries to learn something new.
