SMHI has extended the previously issued yellow warning for rain similar to cloudbursts on Tuesday. Now the area includes the inner parts of Västra Götaland and from southern Värmland down to Växjö.

At times heavy rain is expected, which means a risk of local flooding. The rain is expected to be most intense during the afternoon and evening, with precipitation amounts of 30 to 50 millimeters in a short time and a total of up to 80 millimeters.

"Check if you can seal your basement, or move objects that risk being damaged by water," urges SMHI.

The warning applies from 1 pm on Tuesday until 01 at night to Wednesday.
