May seems to be very above average month.
So far Average Temperature is 20,6C Highest max is 33C Highest min is 22C.
Average High is 24,8C
Average Low is 16,6C
just noticed that the swedish weather institute have introduced a new warning classification for heatwaves.
"Notice of heat wave: The forecast shows that the maximum temperature is at least 26 ° C for three days in succession.
*
Class 1 warning heatwave: The forecast shows that the maximum temperature is at least 30 ° C for three days in succession.
*
Class 2 warning for heat wave: Class 1 warning issued and forecast that the period of maximum temperatures at least 30 ° C may be longer than 5 days and / or the maximum temperature is at least 33 ° C for three days in succession."
quiet high treesholds... doubt we even get a class 1 warning this summer.

Has Sweden ever even had a spell of weather that would be in the class 2?

Probably sometimes. We had one in 2011, 2010, 2003 and 1972. 1994, 1977, 1975, 1964 and 1963 had 4 days in a row above 30C. None in the 80's. So not very common here.
I think that those criteria are way too high. 28C is quite good for a 'Scandinavian heatwave'.
