As 2023 comes to a close, Sweden is bracing for significant weather variations across the country.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued orange and yellow warnings for heavy snowfall and strong winds in several regions, including Vättern, Dalsland, and Sörmland.

The intense weather conditions, especially the wet, heavy snowfall, are expected to cause power outages, with trees potentially snapping and disrupting power lines.

Ellevio, the power company, is on high alert, ready to address any power issues that arise.

Despite the weather conditions, there's a chance for clear skies in the northeastern parts of Norrland during New Year's Eve, offering the possibility to enjoy fireworks.

However, most parts of the country, including major cities like Stockholm, Göteborg, and Malmö, are expected to have cloudy skies with scattered snowfall or rain.
