Heat records have been broken in Sweden in recent days. In both Lund and Helsingborg, 31.1 degrees have been measured, which has meant that a warmer September day has never before been recorded in Sweden.
The heat doesn’t quite go away yet. SMHI has issued a warning for high temperatures in large parts of Götaland and parts of southern Svealand.
“A high pressure just to the east of the country has brought up for the season very warm air over the country with temperatures up to 30 degrees in several places. The heat continues over the weekend and daytime temperatures look set to reach over 26 degrees up to and including Monday,” they write on their website.
Then it turns around
With the high temperatures, it can mean strain on the body, writes SMHI. It is above all risk groups that can have problems.
During the weekend, it is expected to be sunny in more or less the entire country, where temperatures can be between 25-28 degrees. TV4’s meteorologist Ulrika Elvgren explains why we are seeing such high temperatures right now.
– We have had a transport of really warm air across the country. It is a low pressure down on the continent and a high pressure over Russia that has worked together to pull up this air, which comes from far down the continent and originates from the eastern Mediterranean area and perhaps even further east, she says.
Over the next week, things turn around as rain moves in and temperatures become more normal for the season. There will be a temperature drop of around ten degrees.
