'''Skillinge''' is a [locality](/source/Urban_areas_in_Sweden) situated in [Simrishamn Municipality](/source/Simrishamn_Municipality), in [Österlen](/source/%C3%96sterlen), Skåne County, Sweden, with 859 inhabitants in 2010.<ref name=scb />

==The village==

Skillinge has a combined marina and a fishing port which is the closest one to the north of the treacherous Sandhammaren peninsula. In Skillinge harbor there is a shipyard and a [SSRS](/source/Swedish_Sea_Rescue_Society) rescue station equipped with the class nameing rescue vessel Rescue Gad Rausing carrying a Rescuerunner.  The harbor is also the home port of the k-marked schooner Klara Marie. In the town's former school building from 1858 is the Skillinge maritime museum. Skillinge theatre is well established and widely known for its plays.

==Climate==
Skillinge has a [maritime climate](/source/oceanic_climate) with a moderated coastline and a slightly warmer interior during summers. Österlen has a drier climate than elsewhere in Southern Sweden, although it has no active weather station measuring sunshine. Even so, the cool temperatures of the [Baltic Sea](/source/Baltic_Sea) keeps the immediate coastline on average a couple of degrees cooler during July days than in places further north in the country. This is due to the dominance of water in the surroundings, whereas the [Mälar valley](/source/M%C3%A4lar_valley) around [Stockholm](/source/Stockholm) is surrounded by more land.

Especially during summer, [seasonal lag](/source/seasonal_lag) is strong on the local coastline. This means that August averages the warmest summer nights and that September is a lot warmer than May as the sea water gradually warms. During winter, this maritime proximity of Österlen reverses the climate patterns and leads to average highs above {{convert|3|C|F}} on the coastline and frosts usually being weak even while frequent. Records for Skillinge began in 1995 and as such do not contain likely historical extremes.
