The Swedish government is warning the entire country to prepare for a potential heatwave this summer.

Long-term forecasts predict it could be the hottest in seven years or the worst summer ever.

Special concerns are raised for vulnerable groups like the elderly, urging municipalities to have heatwave plans in place.

Minister Anna Tenje emphasized the importance of readiness, especially for care staff, to handle high temperatures.

While exact weather conditions are yet to be determined, officials stress the need for immediate preparation.
