Sweden braces for heavy rainfall as a 'summer storm' from Denmark approaches.
SMHI has issued yellow warnings for torrential rain in parts of southern and eastern Götaland, as well as Gotland.
Malmö is expected to be hit hardest, with forecasts of up to 40mm of rain on Saturday.
The storm, dubbed a 'hundred-year rain' event in Denmark, could bring up to 85mm of precipitation in some areas over the weekend.
There's also a risk of thunderstorms and flooding.
While southern Sweden faces wet conditions, northern regions can expect clearer skies and temperatures around 22°C.
