The hurricane Kirk, which formed over the Atlantic, has not much power left when it reaches Sweden.

When it finally reaches us, it's very weakened. In principle, it's just a regular autumn low-pressure system, says Viktor Bergman, meteorologist at SMHI.

This means another round of rain, which primarily affects the eastern regions of Sweden today and tomorrow, and in the north also on Friday.

A yellow warning for strong winds has been issued from the middle of the Baltic Sea and northwards.

It's very common in the autumn. It's almost more common that we have strong winds than that we don't, says Viktor Bergman.

On Friday, the cloudiness will decrease in many areas and the sun will peek out in many parts of the country.

There may also be some sunshine on Saturday in many places, but we also have another low-pressure system with rain that appears to be moving in late on Saturday, into Sunday, in the south. It's still unstable.
