During the weekend, the clouds disappear and the sun peeks out for a while. But those who longed for holiday sun should remember that wonderful is short.
Next week, the weather is expected to change across the country.
– It will mostly rain, but it can vary greatly between days. It will be a little colder than it usually is during this period of the year, says Anna Latvala, meteorologist at Foreca.
The temperature is expected to be between 20 and 25 degrees in southern Sweden. But it gets colder to the north.
– In some places it will be below 20 degrees. Generally speaking, it gets colder the further north you are, says Anna Latvala.
– It will continue to be sunny and dry in the south-west on Monday. Then on Tuesday there will be some showers.
High pressure over
The hot, dry, summer that has been so far will thus be given a short break. The next two weeks will be a little different compared to June.
– The high pressure that was thought to last has now changed. Now there will be more low pressure in the next two weeks, says meteorologist Anna Latvala.
“It will help”
The drought has affected agriculture, increased the risk of fires and caused groundwater levels to drop sharply. A record number of irrigation bans have thus been introduced around the country. Almost twice as many in summer as in 2018, according to a compilation from Swedish Water.
At the time of writing, almost 50 municipalities in the country have issued irrigation bans. In other words, the showers are long-awaited by many.
– It will help, even if it is still dry. It is also good for the warnings about fire risk, says Anna Latvala at Foreca.
