Storm Boelo moved in early Sunday over the west coast and the coasts of Skåne and Blekinge, bringing strong wind gusts. Several train services were canceled ahead of the storm, and a number of ferry departures to and from Gotland were postponed because of the strong winds.

The strongest winds were right along the coast but did not reach as far inland as we thought, says Hilda Westberg, a meteorologist at SMHI.

By 6 p.m., conditions had calmed considerably in the south.

Now the winds are starting to pick up in western Norrland, where it will blow really hard this evening, says Hilda Westberg, a meteorologist at SMHI.

The mountainous regions will also experience strong winds and rain before conditions ease overnight.

At the same time, a new yellow warning for strong winds will be issued along the coasts of Halland and Bohuslän on Sunday evening and overnight into Monday.

The low pressure system is turning, and the winds will increase again overnight and until around 1 p.m. tomorrow, Monday, says Hilda Westberg.

The strong gusts will mainly affect coastal areas and locations a little further inland.

Götaland and mainly eastern Svealand will also experience strong wind gusts tonight and tomorrow morning, says Hilda Westberg.
