SMHI warned on Sunday of a high risk of grass fires along the entire east coast as well as on Öland and Gotland. The risk will decrease on Monday as a precipitation area with rain and snow moves in from the west. SMHI urges caution with open fires and large machinery outdoors.
On Sunday, SMHI issued a warning for a high risk of grass fires along the entire east coast, including Öland and Gotland. Spring has exposed dry grass from last year, increasing the risk, and meteorologists urge great caution with fires or work involving large machinery outdoors.
The risk decreases on Monday as a precipitation area with both rain and snow moves in from the west over the country. Dalarna, northern Värmland, and Norrland are expected to see snow or wet snow, while rain is forecast for the rest of the country. Snow is also expected in the northernmost part of Örebro county.
Following the precipitation, a temporary high-pressure system will bring sunshine and temperatures above 10°C in Götaland, Svealand, and southeastern Norrland on Tuesday and Wednesday. The weather will then become unstable again ahead of Easter.
