The warning applies to the western and inner parts of Götaland, where large amounts of rain are expected. A yellow warning for torrential rain is also issued for the western parts of southern Norrland, the western parts of Svealand and northwestern Götaland.

The thunder and rain are expected to move in during the afternoon and last until the evening. Locally, there may be large amounts of rain and strong gusts of wind in connection with the thundershowers.

Traffic disruptions may occur due to flooded roads, as well as viaducts, basements and stormwater systems being flooded.

During Thursday, unusually large amounts of rain fell over northwestern Skåne – 80 millimeters according to a local weather station. Parts of Båstad were covered in water after the heavy downpours, and buildings and roads were flooded.
