A significant weather event is set to impact Sweden as a large rain system moves in overnight between Thursday and Friday.
The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued a yellow warning for heavy rainfall in Halland, Västra Götaland, and parts of Västra Småland.
Residents in these areas should prepare for high water flows in streams and rivers, with potential flooding affecting buildings, roads, and viaducts.
The warning is in effect throughout Friday and Saturday, with the heaviest rainfall expected in the western regions.
Additionally, strong winds are anticipated, particularly along the southern coast, where storm gusts are possible.
As the weekend progresses, the rain is expected to subside, but colder air will bring a chill across the country, with temperatures dropping and the possibility of snow showers in the northern mountains.
This weather pattern marks the beginning of a colder-than-usual October, with fluctuating conditions expected throughout the month.
