Sweden is preparing for heavy rainfall that may result in over one month's worth of rain in a single day, prompting an orange alert from the Swedish weather agency SMHI for southeastern regions. Kalmar and Vaxjo are particularly at risk, with forecasts suggesting 40-80 millimeters of rain will accumulate by Wednesday evening. Homeowners are urged to protect their properties from potential flooding and to ensure clear drainage systems. A yellow warning also accompanies forecasting for surrounding areas, indicating further heavy rain without an official alert. Travel may become hazardous due to poor visibility and flooded roads.
Sweden is bracing for a significant downpour, with forecasts indicating more than one month's worth of rain may fall in less than 24 hours. The Swedish weather agency SMHI has issued an orange alert for downpours in large parts of Smaland, particularly affecting Kalmar and Vaxjo. Properties may experience damage from flooding as 40-80 millimeters of rain is expected between midnight and 6pm on Wednesday, significantly higher than the usual monthly average for July.
Homeowners are advised to take precautionary measures, including protecting property and moving at-risk items away from potential water damage. It's crucial to clear gutters, storm drains, and other waterways to ensure proper water flow away from properties.
