Storm Isha Causes Severe Disruptions Across Sweden

Published: 2024-01-22

Sweden is currently facing a severe weather crisis as storm Isha sweeps across the country, causing floods and traffic disruptions.

The melting snow, high winds, and heavy rains have resulted in numerous accidents and road closures.

Several regions, including Stockholm, Uppsala, and Jönköping, are experiencing severe traffic disruptions due to water accumulation on the roads.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued multiple yellow warnings for high winds and snowfall.

In Uddevalla and Stenungsund, water levels are expected to reach or exceed 100 cm.

The weather conditions have also led to multiple accidents on roads such as E4 and E18, and school buses in several communities have been cancelled.
