Heavy rainfall has caused severe flooding across southern Sweden, particularly affecting Stockholm and the West Coast.

Reports indicate that the Södra Länken tunnel in Stockholm was submerged, with water reaching over car tires, creating hazardous driving conditions.

Meteorologists warn that the intense rain could continue for several hours, with local areas expecting up to 50 millimeters of rain.

Emergency services are responding to numerous incidents, including a collision in the Årsta tunnel and flooding at Tele2 Arena, where a football match was postponed due to waterlogged conditions.

The situation has led to a yellow weather warning from SMHI, advising residents to be cautious of potential flooding in basements and on roads.

While the rain is expected to ease by evening, further rain is anticipated later in the week.
