There will be a lot of snow in the interior of Norrbotten this weekend. But residents in southern Sweden have to wait for winter, according to SMHI. Stock Photography.
Winter has formally arrived in much of northern Sweden. And it will be more winter.
SMHI class 1 warns of heavy snowfall in Norrbotten, and motorists in Jämtland and Västernorrland should beware of ice slides.
From Treriksröset in the north to Åre in the south, it is now meteorological winter, which means that the average daily temperature has been zero degrees or below for at least five days.
On the SMHI season map, all of Norrbotten is covered in the dark blue color that symbolizes winter, and even parts of Västerbotten have been cold this week.
– We had the lowest temperature record of the season on Friday morning. Then it was minus 17.8 degrees in Vilhelmina, says Sofia Söderberg, a meteorologist at SMHI.
Last week the first real snowfall of the season arrived in Sweden. This weekend it is still snowing in North Norrland, and for good reason.
– There may be greater amounts of snow in the interior of Norrbotten County, says Sofia Söderberg.
Ice slip warning
SMHI has issued a Class 1 snow warning from Sunday afternoon through Monday evening in the interior of Norrbotten County. There can be around 5-15 centimeters of snow, mainly in the western parts.
Anyone hitting the roads as early as Sunday morning and morning in central parts of the country should take it with care.
SMHI Class 1 warns of a sudden ice slide in parts of Västernorrland County and Jämtland County, where rain can fall on cold roads.
Sun on the islands
In the south, however, it is still relatively mild.
– It’s cloudy, it rains occasionally and it can be a bit hazy. In the Baltic Sea landscape, mainly on Öland, Gotland and along the coast, there can be some sunshine, says Sofia Söderberg.
TT: When does winter come to Svealand and Götaland?
– You have to wait a little longer. It is still soft for the next 24 hours and there is no direct cooling at the entrance.
