"High temperatures can lead to unexpected and dangerous situations in road traffic," warns the Swedish Transport Administration on its website, writing that motorists should be aware of bleeding asphalt and an increased risk of vehicle breakdowns.
You should also always have water with you in the car and keep an eye on current traffic information.
SMHI has previously issued a yellow warning for high temperatures on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Stockholm, Jönköping, Karlstad and Örebro are among the cities that can expect three days when the temperature could rise above 30 degrees.
The elderly, children and other risk groups are particularly vulnerable in the high temperatures. At the Kornellen nursing home in Örebro, they are prepared, says development manager Jessica Guvenal. They receive clear information from the municipality about how to work with fluid intake and sun protection.
We have fans and AC, but the house we are in is newly built and has a very good indoor climate, so we haven't had to bring them out yet, she says.
Outdoors, sun hats and cold drinks are needed.
We offer ice cream, vanilla ice cream and drinks depending on what is wanted. And apply sunscreen. It is especially important to pay attention to signals, if someone cannot express themselves, we are there and are in control, she says.
On Tuesday, the Swedish Transport Administration also announced that certain train routes in Småland and Värmland would be closed due to the risk of solar flares.
