Several train lines are completely canceled as a preventive measure and thousands of customers are without electricity.
AI-generated summary
A low pressure pulls in over Sweden and causes strong winds that affect infrastructure and electricity supply.
There have been several questions about train journeys to SVT during the morning. Right now, train traffic is completely suspended in all of Blekinge, as well as on the Gothenburg-Herrljunga-Mariestad, Kil-Torsby and Borås-Varberg routes as a result of the storm.
- It is a preventive measure to avoid the risk of people getting stuck in a stationary train, says Emmely Hornborg, press spokesperson at the Swedish Transport Administration.
The situation may change during the day and if you are traveling by train, you are advised to check the traffic information with the company responsible for the journey.
It will be really windy with strong gusts of wind, a bit into Monday. A "trimmed low pressure", according to SVT's meteorologist Nils Holmqvist.
- But it's not the worst kind of storm, he says.
This is because the worst storm stays out in the Norwegian Sea, west of Norway. The weather that moves in over Sweden is easier to predict for the authorities, because it has had time to "mature" out at sea.
- There is not much that can happen meteorologically. Then you never know what effects this will have. How many trees fall or how many power cuts there will be, it is very difficult to predict, it is a lot of coincidence, says Nils Holmqvist.
The energy company Eon currently has 1,200 customers who are without electricity due to the storm, according to Peter Hjalmar, head of region South at Eon.
- It is fairly evenly distributed across the country. But Skåne, Kronoberg and Kalmar counties are the hardest hit right now, says Hjalmar.
The strong gusts cause the trees to fall over the power lines.
However, Eon has many fitters out, who work as long as it is safe in the weather conditions.
- The wind is starting to blow here in Skåne, so we hope that the customers will get the power back within a few hours, says Peter Hjalmar.

SMHI avoids seconds meter, precisely because it is technically wrong even if linguistically rooted - hopefully the word will disappear with time.
"Our use of m/s as a measure of wind speed has a long history. It is read: 'metres per second' or 'metres per second'. Note that meteorologists avoid saying 'metres per second', although the expression is common among, for example, sailors."

The widespread low pressure Boelo moves in over the country with strong winds and up to 30 millimeters of rain in some places. SMHI has issued seven wind warnings, and the storm is already causing train cancellations and ferry timetable changes.
Storm Boelo is approaching the UK with expected wind gusts of over 30m/s. This comes shortly after storm Austen caused power outages and school closures in the region.

SMHI has issued yellow warnings for the storm Boelo, which is expected to reach Sweden on Sunday. Wind strengths of up to 25 m/s in combination with rain increase the risk of tree felling and disruption to public transport along the coasts and in parts of the interior.

The world's countries are gathering at COP17 in Armenia's capital, Yerevan, to assess the halfway point to the UN goal of halting the loss of biodiversity by 2030. According to new reports, the work is moving too slowly and the global goals for protected nature are at risk of being missed.

From January 1, 2027, five different containers for metal, paper, plastic packaging and colored and uncolored glass must be collected next to Swedish properties and residences according to new legal requirements for collection close to properties. The industry warns that the transition could be delayed due to short time, local challenges and financial uncertainty, with some municipalities already giving up on the idea of being ready in time.

Europe risks high energy prices this winter due to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. EU leaders are now arguing over the emissions trading system (ETS), where countries like Italy want to relax the rules while Sweden and others defend the system.
