A rain area is moving in over the country on Walpurgis Eve, but seems to be blowing away towards the Baltic Sea just in time for the May bonfires to be lit in the evening around the country.

It is central Sweden and southern Norrland that can get some showers on Wednesday. But it is mainly early in the day; towards the evening, it looks like it will become drier, according to the SMHI's forecast.

Just like in the rest of the country, it then looks like it will be partly cloudy, partly half-clear. But the forecast is uncertain.

In southern Sweden, it will be around 10-15 degrees on Walpurgis Night, in central Sweden 5-10 degrees, and in Norrland a few degrees colder.

The day after is, as is well known, May 1st. In the middle of the day, when the demonstration marches go along the streets, it looks like it will be cloudy almost everywhere. But later in the afternoon, a large rain shower will move in from the west.

In the evening, almost the entire country will have rain, except in the south where it will be mostly cloudy, says Catharina Wahlström, meteorologist at SMHI.
