Heavy showers can locally produce large amounts of rain in a short time, which can lead to flooding.; What happens?: Wednesday morning, a band of heavier showers will move in from the east with a risk of larger amounts of rain, 30 to 50 mm could fall in a short time. Thunderstorms are also possible.; What should I think about?: Flooding can occur in, for example, basements and stormwater systems. Check if you can seal your basement, or move items that are at risk of being damaged by water. Clear gutters, storm drains and other waterways so that the water can flow away unimpeded. Roads and underpasses may be flooded, avoid driving through the water. Travel times may increase due to poor visibility and risk of hydroplaning. Allow more time for your journey and adjust the speed according to road conditions.; Where?: Parts of southern Svealand and northern Götaland; Comments: There will be large local variations and exactly where the largest amounts of rain will end up is difficult to assess.
