SMHI: Could be the first heat wave of the year in Sweden

The summer heat is tightening its grip on Europe - after the heat wave in France and Spain, temperatures are also expected to rise in Sweden. Temperatures could top 30 degrees Celsius in parts of the country, says Erik Höjgård-Olsen, a meteorologist at SMHI.

After a sunny and warm Midsummer weekend in large parts of the country, it will be a little cooler in the coming days. But those who like high temperatures need not despair; the heat is expected to return in just a few days.

There is high pressure coming from the south that will reach southern Sweden on Thursday and last at least the rest of the week, says Erik Höjgård-Olsen.

It is especially in the southeastern parts of the country where it can get really hot, with temperatures of just over 30 degrees.

In the rest of Götaland and Svealand, it will be just over 25 degrees, while the coast and inland of Norrland will have temperatures just above 20 degrees, says Erik Höjgård-Olsen.
