Warm Days Ahead Before Rain Returns, Warns SMHI

It will be a few days of real summer heat, but those who hope for something long-lasting will be disappointed. There is no high pressure that will stay, but it is low-pressure dominated, says Kristin Hallberg, meteorologist at SMHI. At the same time, SMHI warns of a very high or extremely high risk of fire in forests and land in the southern parts of the country.

On Monday, a high-pressure ridge is moving in over the country and the heat seems to arrive on Tuesday. In Skåne and Blekinge, it may reach up to 30 degrees and in southern Norrland, it may be around 20 degrees.

But already then, we have a new fairly deep low-pressure system over the Norwegian Sea that is pulling in a front over northern and central Sweden, and the question is what will come with it. Svealand and northwards will get rain from Tuesday, says Hallberg.

The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday is so far unclear, and according to Hallberg, it is difficult to say how much precipitation is expected.

There have been indications that it may be quite large amounts, but very uncertain where.

In the southernmost part of the country, it is still high-pressure dominated on Friday, but "not at all the same heat", according to Hallberg, who notes that the high pressure is not here to stay.

On Sunday and Monday, the risk of fires in forests and land is very high or extremely high in a large part of Götaland, in southeastern Svealand, and on Gotland, warns SMHI and urges caution when it comes to fire and work with large machines.

SMHI urges people to check if a fire ban is in effect where they are.
