A severe snowstorm is set to hit Västerbotten, Sweden, with a particular impact expected in the Skellefteå area, where over a decimeter of snow is forecasted.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued warnings for sudden ice formation, especially in parts of Jämtland, Västernorrland, and southern Västerbotten, cautioning drivers about challenging traffic conditions.

The weather transition will see snow turning into rain by morning in Umeå, but the region will soon experience a shift towards milder weather, with temperatures rising to about 8 degrees Celsius by the coast on Monday.

This brief but intense weather event poses significant hazards, especially on the roads, urging residents to exercise caution.
