It will be quite windy at sea and along almost the entire Swedish coast during the weekend. The worst is expected in the Skagerrak, along the West Coast and the south coast of Skåne, where the SMHI has issued orange warnings.
The SMHI has already measured hurricane winds in the gusts at sea, in northern Halland.
We have seen wind speeds of 33 meters per second in the gusts. It is Nidingen that reports it. So it has started blowing properly, says Emma Härenstam to TT at 08.30.
Fallen trees
Train traffic is largely canceled in Skåne and there are major disruptions also in other parts of western and southern Sweden. The Swedish Transport Administration also reports fallen trees in Halland and Västra Götaland, including in central Gothenburg.
The storm has also caused power outages in southern and western Sweden. Among other things, Ellevio reports up to 9,000 customers without power on Tjörn and Orust as well as in Stenungsund, where the power has returned to a few thousand subscribers.
The Öresund Bridge is kept open, but may be closed.
"The mean wind on the connection is expected to be around the limit value for closure, according to the forecast", according to the Öresund Bridge's website.
For the Skagerrak, the warning applies until Monday morning and at sea, it can become hurricane strength in the gusts. Along the West Coast and Skåne's south coast, the orange warnings apply from morning to mid-day.
30 millimeters of rain
Everything is a consequence of the storm Amy, which has passed over the Atlantic and the British Isles with very harsh weather.
A widespread area of rain spreads northeast over the country and in some areas, up to 30 millimeters of rain is expected during Saturday. In the Dalafjällen and Härjedalsfjällen, the SMHI believes in wet snow.
Sunday will be wet with rain and showers in most of the country. The rain can be plentiful in the western parts of Götaland and Svealand, but also in the southern coastal areas of Norrland.
