Rain Expected Across Sweden Next Week as Low-Pressure System Moves In

The vacation may be singing its final refrain, and so is the sweaty weather – at least for this time. A type of low-pressure system – which the meteorologist calls "interesting" and which is known for being difficult to forecast – is moving in from the south.

Local afternoon showers are moving in over southern Sweden on Sunday as cumulus clouds grow.

Shower rains, with elements of thunder, are also expected to sprinkle almost the entire day over northern Dalarna and southern and central Norrland, according to Christopher Greenland, meteorologist at SMHI.

In the north, the day begins with sunshine, but during the day the cloudiness increases more and more and rain or showers move in from the south.

The temperature in the south is around 20-25 degrees and 15-20 degrees in the north.

"Interesting weather situation"

If we look ahead to the beginning of next week, we have an interesting weather situation, says Greenland, referring to a low-pressure system that is currently located near Poland and is moving north over the Baltic Sea.

It is a so-called 5b low-pressure system, which has a path that goes from south to north.

For our part, low-pressure systems usually come in from the west or southwest. 5b low-pressure systems are known for being more difficult to predict.

On Monday, the rain area moves in over the eastern parts of Götaland and Svealand.

This rain will then spread further north during Tuesday and continue even on Wednesday. It may be a matter of fairly large amounts of rain in several parts of the country on Tuesday and also on Wednesday, says Greenland.

Generally, the temperature is around 15-20 degrees.

Risk of further low-pressure systems

Right now, the precipitation seems to fall mainly in the eastern and northern parts of the country, but Greenland reminds us that the low-pressure system's exact path is still uncertain.

Tuesday's and Wednesday's rain can to some extent remain in some parts of the country even on Thursday and Friday – and at the same time, another low-pressure system with accompanying rain appears to sweep in over southern Sweden from the east.
