SMHI: Then we issue a warning

Rain or sunshine? It's not always the case that the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute's (SMHI) weather forecasts are entirely accurate. But it's not the weather itself that's the focus when a yellow warning is issued. It's actually the consequences we're warning about, says Therese Fougman, meteorologist at SMHI.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute warns of heavy rain showers – thunderstorm approaches

A storm with a risk of both heavy rain and thunder is moving in over Sweden on Wednesday – and thousands of lightning bolts have already struck. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute's yellow warning is being extended to a larger area over southern Sweden.

The storm will be worst: "Secure outdoor furniture"

The SMHI is warning of very strong winds in southwestern Sweden. Gusts of 20-25 meters per second can occur. It's a good idea to secure or remove loose objects in the garden, says meteorologist Torbjörn Simann.
