SMHI has issued a yellow warning for torrential rain during the day. The area has changed since Wednesday and now includes an area a little further south and west - which means that central Stockholm, Eskilstuna and Västerås are expected to be affected, among other places.

The low-pressure system brings both torrential rain and thunderstorms, and "amounts of 40–70 mm are expected, possibly more," SMHI writes.

The rain can lead to flooding in buildings and on roads and viaducts.
