Sunne is a locality and the seat of Sunne Municipality, Värmland County, Sweden with 10,000 inhabitants in 2010.[1]
The town straddles the sound connecting Övre Fryken (Northern lake) with Mellan-Fryken (Middle lake). The name of Sunne is derived from the Swedish word of 'sund' for a maritime sound.
Printing and packaging are significant industries in Sunne. The companies Tetra Pak and Miller Graphics have facilities in the town and the local college provides a specialist course in printing technology.
In the summer there is a large music festival.
The painter Tage Åsén who made the cover paintings for two of his books about Sunne and who currently is working on his project about Sunne called Brobytornet (the Broby Tower). Broby is the name Selma Lagerlöf gave Sunne in her books. Each year The Foundation Selma Lagerlöf Literary Prize awards a prominent Swedish writer.
Sunne has a humid continental climate. Due to moderating influences from the North Atlantic and the lake Vänern to its south, it is a lot milder than areas in northern Värmland or western Dalarna such as HöljesorMalung. Even so, it is prone to chilly nights year round due to its position in a river valley with high hills both to its west and east. There is a relatively high precipitation amount by central Sweden standards. This contributes to summer afternoon temperatures lower than would be expected for a low-lying inland location on the particular latitude in Sweden.
