SMHI warns of torrential rain: “Don’t trust the weather apps”

During Tuesday and the night to Wednesday, SMHI has issued a yellow warning for large amounts of rain in Gävleborg county. – This means that there may be consequences for society in the form of flooded basements, but also ditches and viaducts, says TV4’s meteorologist Leon Lee. Locally, there may be up to 80 millimeters of rain together with thunder. Gävleborg was hit hard by floods in late summer 2021 when it rained 101 millimeters in just two hours. It is the highest figure measured since SMHI started the measurements. “Follow the rain areas live” There may also be a lot of showers in Götaland and Svealand in the coming days due to an unstable air mass. – Now is the time to not trust the weather apps, but go in and look at the radar images and follow rain areas live, says Leon Lee.
