On Sunday, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued a yellow warning for northern Norrland as heavy showers will move in over the coast and inland during the afternoon and evening.
Locally, the rain will be really intense, according to Max Schildt, on-duty meteorologist at SMHI.
The showers can bring up to 70 millimeters of rain in a very short time, and if they hit an urban area, they can cause flooding in basements and sewers, says Schildt.
The remnants of the low-pressure system will remain over the northern part of Sweden into the beginning of next week.
A high-pressure ridge with sunny weather will move in from the south at the beginning of next week and will also cover central Sweden with temperatures up to 25 degrees. The high-pressure ridge will remain until the middle of next week before it becomes cloudy and slightly cooler in central Sweden.
SMHI has three levels of weather warnings:
Yellow warning: Consequences for society, some risks for the general public.
Orange warning: Serious consequences for society, danger for the general public.
Red warning: Very serious consequences for society, great danger for the general public.
