empty in Storsjön such as the one near Ytterån where Näldssjön and Alsensjön are emptied. Lake Näkten (324 m) terminates in southern Storsjön. Storsjön itself is emptied in Krokom where the Indalsälven continues its journey throughout Jämtland. The tributaries Långan, Hårkan, and Ammerån are afterwards united with Jämtlandsälven on its course eastwards to Medelpad and the Bothnian sea. Next to Storsjön's easternmost tip, the Gulf of Brunflo, lies Locknesjön (the locked lake, 327 m). Locknesjön is emptied to Bodsjön (307 m) and then to Revsundssjön (288 m), which is drained by Gimån, one of Ljungan's tributaries. Ljungan's source comes from the fells near the Jamtish-Herdalian border. Ljungan runs through lakes such as Börtnessjön and Rätanssjön in southern Jämtland. Climate Jämtland has a temperate climate and belongs to the temperate zone's northernmost area. The climate in Jämtland is both humid continental and subarctic, depending on the location. The climate is greatly affected by the Norwegian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, due to several mountain passes in Scandinavian mountain range. In western Jämtland mild winters with abundant precipitation are common. This is because of the warm winds brought to the area by the Gulf Stream. The average precipitation in the Jamtish Fells is roughly 1,000 millimetres per year, with Skäckerfjällen as extreme with about 1,500 mm. The precipitation rates in the middle of the province are more moderate. In fact the central and eastern parts of Jämtland have meager precipitation. In Storsjöbygden the annual averages is as low as 500 mm. Due to the warm winds the temperature during the winters reaches its maximum in the fell region at about -7-8 °C in Storlien and environs. The coldest winter temperatures, roughly -11°C, are found in the province's outskirts like Börtnan. Maximum temperatures in the summer months average from 14°C in Jämtland's eastern parts to around 11°C in the fell region. On some mountain peaks the averages are usually as low as 5°C. The highest (34.0°C) and lowest (-45.8°C) temperatures ever recorded in Jämtland were in its easternmost parts near Hammarstrand in 1947 and 1950. Blizzards are common in Jämtland, and especially in the fell region. The most notable blizzard is the one that arose on New Year's Eve 1718. The heaviest winds in Jämtland may gust to 55 metres/s. Towns There's only one chartered city in Jämtland, Östersund, founded 1786. Jämtland is a sparsely populated region, more so than Sweden and Scandinavia
