The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued yellow snow warnings starting on 12 November.

The warnings for snowfall (snöfall) cover the Västerbotten coast, the southernmost Norrbotten coast and parts of central Sweden. SMHI advises allowing extra travel time and adjusting speed to road conditions and visibility.

Västerbotten and southernmost Norrbotten coasts

The northern coastal warning runs from 08:00 on 12 November to 23:00 on 13 November. All times are Swedish local time.

SMHI forecasts 10 to 20 centimetres by the morning of 13 November, with locally more than 30 in the northern part. Another 10 centimetres may fall during 13 November before the snow eases that evening.

The coastal stretch south of Skellefteå is expected to get mainly rain for much of the period.

Värmland and nearby areas

The second warning covers Värmland, southern Dalarna and parts of Örebro and Västmanland counties. The warning runs from 10:00 on 12 November to 10:00 on 13 November.

SMHI forecasts 5 to 15 centimetres by the morning of 13 November, locally more than 20. Whether southern and eastern areas get snow or rain remains uncertain. Light snow may continue after the warning ends.

SMHI warns of possible public transport delays or cancellations. The warnings describe forecast risks, not confirmed disruption.
