Väderöarna (or the Weather Islands) is an archipelago in western Sweden, near Hamburgsund.
Geography The islands are located in the Skagerrak near the North Sea. Many are small, hilly, and roadless.
Wildlife There is a large colony of harbour seals living on the islands.
The archipelago has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant colonies of great black-backed gulls and black guillemots as well as wintering purple sandpipers.
Access The Väderöarnas are accessible by a 30-minute boat ride from Fjällbacka. There is limited accommodation on the islands. Lighthouses on the islands are also available for rent.
