Väderöarna (or the Weather Islands) is an archipelago in western Sweden, near Hamburgsund.
The islands are located in the Skagerrak near the North Sea. Many are small, hilly, and roadless.[1]
There is a large colony of harbour seals living on the islands.[2]
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.[3]
The Väderöarnas are accessible by a 30-minute boat ride from Fjällbacka. There is limited accommodation on the islands.[4] Lighthouses on the islands are also available for rent.[5]
