Väder-Nils: How “Alex” affects Västra Götaland



[ad_1]

The places that are expected to be hit the hardest when the rainy weather hits on Sunday are mainly in Dalsland and around the southern tip of Lake Vänern. From Mellerud, Vänersborg and further south towards Ulricehamn.

Risk of water damage

What can we expect from storms?

– The mildest will be a true autumn fever, with rain and wind. But there can be such abundant amounts of rain that there will be flooding in the streets and basements can be damaged by water, says Nils Holmqvist.

When is it worst?

– During the afternoon and at night it rains more, but then the wind has calmed down a bit. By midnight, most of the rain has passed and it may actually be late summer on Monday.

The storm “Alex” has subsided

The storm is the remnants of the storm “Alex” that has hit France and Italy hard.

– It has lost a lot of power and has spread throughout Western Europe. It is no longer a storm as there will be nothing but strong winds from the town. It’s certainly very windy and there can be 20-50mm of rain on Sunday. It can be compared to the fact that there was 450mm of rain in France, which is about half the annual rainfall in Sweden. Southern France and northwestern Italy were the hardest hit. Some have died and a dozen are still missing, says Nils Holmqvist.
