Yellow warnings for strong winds have been issued at sea along the entire west coast on Friday.

We currently have several strong wind warnings at sea and it can get really windy, says Mattias Lind.

Five weather stations along the west coast have measured levels indicating storm gusts, according to the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.

Several trees have fallen in the Gothenburg area, including one over a house in Kungälv, reports Göteborgs-Posten.

Warning for flooding

A yellow warning for high water levels has been issued from Gothenburg to Strömstad, on Friday evening.

Jetties, roads, buildings, and bridges can be flooded, says Mattias Lind.

On Friday evening, the rescue service was alerted to a flood in central Uddevalla, reports Bohuslänningen.

There's a hell of a lot of water, says Marcus Wedin at the rescue service, to the newspaper.

Moving north during the night

The wind is an aftermath of storm Lilian, which comes all the way from the UK.

During the night towards Saturday, the wind is expected to die down and move north. It will be windiest in the Norrbotten Mountains, where a yellow warning for very strong winds has been issued.

Although the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute has only issued one warning over the country, it can get windy in other areas as well on Saturday.

There may be some consequences in several places, but we assess that it's just below what's required for a warning, says Mattias Lind at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.
