It was due to a low pressure with fronts moving in from the southwest that large amounts of rain were expected in a short time and thunder in parts of the country. From 23 to 04 in Bohuslän and Dalsland and from 00 to 06 in western Värmland.

The area of ​​heavy rain is expected to continue up over the central Norrland coast later, but no warning has been issued there.
