There have been pleasant temperatures and some sun in many places in Svealand on Thursday, but soon there will be other storms as a rain area moves from Götaland northward through Svealand and the Stockholm area, warns Christopher Greenland, a meteorologist at SMHI. The rain will continue towards northern Sweden, possibly turning into snow in some places. Another low pressure will move in over southern Sweden on Friday, affecting Götaland and then moving towards Svealand, Dalarna, and southernmost Norrland. Large parts of Svealand, Götaland, and Dalarna could experience precipitation on Saturday, as well as windy conditions in some areas. SMHI has issued a yellow warning for gales over the Kattegat, the Belts, and up to and including the central Baltic Sea on Friday, which applies to the central and south-eastern Baltic Sea on Saturday. As for the temperature, southern Sweden will experience some plus degrees at the beginning of the weekend, but it will be colder towards Sunday and the beginning of next week, with Svealand having minus degrees during the day. SMHI has three levels of weather warnings: yellow, orange, and red alert, indicating consequences for society and varying levels of danger to the public. Christopher Greenland suggests that those waiting for warmer temperatures and spring weather may have to wait a little longer.
In many places in Svealand there have been pleasant temperatures and some sun on Thursday. But soon there will be other storms.
– We have a rain area that has moved from Götaland north and will pass through Svealand and the Stockholm area, says Christopher Greenland, meteorologist at SMHI, to TT.
During the night, the rain continues towards northern Sweden and may change to snow in places.
On Friday, it will be more of the same when another low pressure moves in over southern Sweden.
– It will affect Götaland to begin with and then move up towards Svealand and further towards Dalarna and southernmost Norrland, says Christopher Greenland.
Saturday also looks like it could be a day characterized by precipitation in large parts of Svealand, Götaland and Dalarna.
In addition to the rain, it will also be windy in places and SMHI has issued a yellow warning for gales over the Kattegat, the Belts and up to and including the central Baltic Sea on Friday. For the central and south-eastern Baltic Sea, the warning also applies on Saturday.
In terms of temperature, there will be some plus degrees in southern Sweden at the beginning of the weekend, but towards Sunday and the beginning of next week it will be colder and Svealand can count on minus degrees during the day.
– Those who are waiting for a little more spring weather with warmer temperatures will probably have to wait a little longer, says Christopher Greenland.
SMHI has three levels of weather warnings:
Yellow warning: Consequences for society, some risks to the public.
Orange warning: Serious consequences for society, danger to the public.
