Expect rain, in some places downpour-like, SMHI warns, in many places up to southern Norrland today. But the situation is said to be difficult to assess.

In western Götaland, Västtrafik already issued a notice of canceled departures yesterday. According to P4 Väst, this applies, among other things, to trains between Gothenburg and Strömstad and between Gothenburg and Vänersborg.

Yellow warnings for torrential rain are in place for Götaland and southwestern Värmland. A lot of rain can fall there in a short time.

According to SMHI, the situation is difficult to assess, including how quickly the area moves in from the southwest and further up the country, from Götaland into Svealand and up to southern Norrland.

Further up in the country, variable cloudiness and some local showers are forecast.

Asa believers can have their own burial place in Karlstad Diocese, the first in Sweden.

In 2023, the Nordic Asa community applied for a special burial ground for Asa believers to be established in the diocese. Karlstad’s pastorate has proposed that it be built in Molkom.

The burial site is to be located just outside Nyed’s cemetery, as the Asa community wants a burial site that is not in consecrated ground. If the proposal is accepted by the County Administrative Board, it will be Sweden’s first contemporary burial site for Asa believers.
