Severe storm Ingunn is set to hit the Scandinavian region with full force, prompting meteorological institutes in Sweden and Norway to issue the highest level of warnings.

Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued an orange warning for the mountainous areas of J\u00e4mtland County due to expected storm-force winds reaching up to 30 meters per second, accompanied by heavy snowfall.

Residents are strongly advised to avoid mountainous regions.

In Norway, Ingunn is expected to be the worst storm in 32 years, with red warnings issued and schools advised to close.

Winds up to 50 meters per second are predicted, and residents are being prepared for extended power outages and advised to stay indoors.

The impact of storm Ingunn will be felt across the Scandinavian mountain range, with SMHI issuing multiple orange warnings for strong winds and snow showers until Thursday evening.
