Residents in the Skane region of Sweden are facing significant challenges as heavy snowmelt and rainfall have led to severe flooding.

In Hörby, local resident Jan-Erik Persson has expressed his disappointment with the municipal response, blaming the local government for failing to take preventative measures that could have mitigated the impact of the floods.

Persson's house has suffered extensive damage, and he now faces months of repair work.

Meanwhile, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has elevated the warning for Kavlingean to the highest level, indicating a rare and dangerous situation that could affect buildings and roads.

The red warning encompasses the area from Vombsjon to the sea, including Kävlinge, where the local colonist association is already underwater.

Community members are urged to exercise extreme caution and avoid proximity to the raging waters.
