The spring floodwaters are peaking in northern Sweden, with the SMHI issuing yellow and orange warnings for high water levels in several areas.

The Kalix and Torne rivers are experiencing the most significant increases, but the situation is expected to stabilize soon.

Despite last year's severe flooding in Torne River, the risk of a repeat is low due to the melting snow and cooler forecast.

Some roads have been damaged, including a section near the start of Drottningleden in Storumans municipality.

In Västerbotten, the warning level has been downgraded from orange to yellow as water levels drop.
