Later in the evening and during the morning, muddy conditions are expected. But so far, it's only the puddles that are surprising and making it difficult to walk on Way Out West in Slottsskogen in Gothenburg.

Until late afternoon, evening, up to 30 millimeters of rain are expected, according to SMHI.

It will continue to rain during the day and will start to clear up during late afternoon, evening, says Caroline Vahlberg, meteorologist at SMHI.

It's also windy, with fresh to locally strong gusts of wind.

On Saturday, the festival's last day, it will be windy with fresh to strong gusts of wind.

There may be some local showers. But not the continuous rain we have now, says Caroline Vahlberg.

In front of one of the larger stages, Gabriella and Fredrika Israelson want to get a good spot at the front row for Maisie Peters' performance at Way Out West in Slottsskogen in Gothenburg.

Mom Gabriella is wearing Gore-Tex, daughter Fredrika has double rain jackets.

The mood is good, the thought is positive.

Some years it has rained all three days. Yesterday was a wonderful day, says Gabriella Israelson.

On a stage with a roof, Annika Norlin sings about sorrow while the rain pours down on the tent fabric. Here, the south-west wind is taken away and glasses are wiped dry.

Together with Jonas Teglund, she had wondered how many would actually brave the rain and come to the duo's performance.

But there are more people than we thought, she says from the stage.

A little later, reports come in that the rain is causing problems for the concerts.

P4 Göteborg reports that the rain has entered one of the larger stages, where the instruments have been covered in plastic and the artist Maisie Peters has gotten thoroughly wet.
