Snow and Strong Winds Could Reach Large Parts of Sweden This Week

On Thursday and Friday, there could be snowfall quite far south, reaching Götaland as well, says Max Schildt, a meteorologist at SMHI.

We’re not talking about large amounts that will stick around. But it is still a clear sign that winter is on the way.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be cloudy and rainy in the south and colder in the north. An extensive low-pressure system will then move in from the west on Thursday and Friday, bringing rain, snow and quite strong winds to large parts of the country.

Especially in southern Norrland and Dalarna, there looks to be some snow on Friday, along with strong winds. That could cause some traffic problems, says Max Schildt.

SMHI has not yet issued any warnings, but it may do so.

On Saturday, it looks set to be cold across the country, with sunshine in many places. Later in the weekend, a new low-pressure system will move in over northern Sweden.

Already at the beginning of next week, we’ll see signs of milder air moving up over the country, says Max Schildt.
