Stockholm easily. Their combination of record and average low in June is the lowest of the lot. Here in Buxton we've had an inch of lying snow before. I don't think Stockholm can be much warmer than our summers. If we can get an inch in snow I think they could get a snow flurry.

stockholm. I don't have any data at the moment, but it isn't too far fetched to assume that it has snowed there in June at least once during the last 100 years. one station (spinkabo) on the south swedish highlands in götaland (about 3c cooler in summer than stockholm, but nontheless) recorded 7cm of snow 14th June 1982.

Stockholm is the most likely, it would REALLY rare, though.

Minneapolis. The possible fluctiations in temperature are so much higher than in Stocholm.

Don't agree with the above. The standard deviation is higher, but the averages are all much higher in June, and the big standard deviations still only take it down to the same record low in June as Stockholm.

Stockholm for the reasons mentioned above, plus its higher latitude could make it more vulnerable to a late arctic snap or something

Stockholm.

Not Minninapilis as it is too warm. I have been there in the summer and it was 30c a lot.

You have to go at around 65N in Finland (and higher ground) to have seen settling snow in June the last 80 years, and the freak cold snap in June 2009 brought temperatures to 9C highs and 4-5C lows on 4 and 5 June. The only subfreezing temp in 30 years in June was on the 7th, the high being 14.6C. Clear skies all night, so obviously no snowfall.

It might happen, but it also might happen in Minneapolis. No Arctic snap is powerful enough to travel 15-20 degrees south and retain the precipitation as snow.


So the correct answer is probably "not possible in any of these locations", if it's impossible in Minneapolis.

Where is Minninapilis?

I went to Paris last year in late May and it was 2/9°C. Therefore I conclude that it is an arctic city with no summer.
