In Värnamo, the municipality built dikes on Saturday to prevent possible flooding. SMHI has issued a yellow warning for high flows in Lagan. It is snowmelt and rain that have caused the water to rise. Similar flows as they are right now are quite unusual according to SMHI.
– If you have a basement, you should look over it and try to remove valuable things and leave room for a possible flood, says operations leader Jon Aldenklev to TV4 Nyheterna.
The County Administrative Board assesses that the water levels in Nissan and Lagan will continue to rise. Previously, it was believed that the climax would be reached on Wednesday, now there are other bids.
– The culmination is only counted tomorrow or on Monday, says TV4 Nyheternas reporter Mikael Nilsson.
– Now there are many who are worried and hope to avoid a repeat of 2004 and 2020, when parts of the city were under water.
