SMHI warns of heavy rain this weekend
The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued a yellow weather warning for large parts of southern and central Sweden. The reason is expected downpours that could cause traffic problems and local flooding.
The warning comes into effect on Saturday and applies throughout the entire day. According to SMHI, large amounts of rain may fall in a short period, which risks causing roads and basements to become waterlogged.
Authorities are now urging anyone planning to travel over the weekend to be extra cautious. Roads may be slippery and visibility could be limited due to the heavy rain.
It is still uncertain exactly which areas will be hit the hardest, but SMHI is monitoring the situation closely. They recommend that residents keep an eye on weather reports and be prepared to reschedule their outdoor activities.
In summary, one should take it easy in traffic and check their property if living in an area at risk of flooding. SMHI will update its information continuously throughout the weekend.
