Showers pull in but the heat stops

Showers pull in but the heat stops

On Monday, it is still hot throughout the country. Especially in the eastern parts, the high summer heat continues.

– The heat remains there so much that we have issued warnings for high temperatures, says Katarina Andersson.

A yellow warning has been issued for parts of northern Uppland and Gästrikland until Tuesday. Here, the highest temperature of the day in several places is expected to reach at least 30 degrees.

On Monday, a heat warning was also issued in the northernmost Kalmar county, southern Örebro county and parts of Östergötland, but here the temperature has time to slow down until Tuesday.

During Monday evening, a front pulls in over the west coast with much-needed rain. On Tuesday, the rain passes east over Götaland, Svealand and parts of southern Norrland.

– There may very well be thunderstorms in the west, says Katarina Andersson.

But the rain pulls past and in Götaland it clears up to a sunny afternoon, with temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees.

In the southern coast of northern Norrland and to the north, high summer temperatures of 23–28 degrees are expected on Tuesday. Only on Wednesday does the rain reach the northern parts of the country.

– Then the sun is back in the south. It looks like it could be up to 25 degrees. On the east coast even warmer.

By Thursday, it looks like new rain is coming in the south. But in Svealand and Norrland it is sunny again.

Friday is unstable over Götaland and the western parts of Svealand and Norrland. Otherwise, only local showers and rising temperatures are expected.

TT: Do you see any cooler weather on the way in?

– On Sunday, it looks like there will be a risk of a little cooler air, but it is not completely decided yet. New hot air can also come up, Katarina Andersson answers.
