Previously, Svenska kraftnät stated that strong winds were delaying the repair work.

In the southern and central parts of the country, it remains difficult to travel on the roads, according to SR's Traffic Editorial Team. Hundreds of fallen trees remain on the roads. In Uddevalla, a person had to be rescued from the roof of a car because of flooding, SVT Nyheter reports.

SMHI announced early Monday morning that the preliminary highest gust on Easter Sunday was 39.2 m/s at Måseskär outside Orust, and that the highest average wind was 30.0 m/s on the Väderöarna islands.

According to SMHI's forecast, it will still be windy on Monday, but the storm is expected to slowly subside. Dave is expected to weaken and move over Finland.
