Hemse has a maritime climate partially influenced by being on an offshore island but also its interior position on Gotland. As a result, it has features both reminiscent of mainland southern Sweden and of coastal Gotland. It has the warmest summer days and coldest winter nights out of the active Gotland stations. It is also both rainier and snowier than coastal areas. Even so, seasonal lag is still strong which results in spring getting frequent cold snaps. With the coastal parts of Gotland being the sunniest part of the Nordics and Baltics, clear nights are frequent also inland. This results in high diurnal temperature variation by Swedish maritime standards.
