During Tuesday windy with strong to very strong gusty winds, locally storm gusts.; What happens?: A extensive low pressure area from the Norwegian Sea is moving in over Southern Norway and in connection with this the wind increases. From Tuesday morning, starting at the Bohus coast, southwesterly winds are expected with strong to very strong gusts, 18-23 m/s. At the northern Bohus coast and parts of the coastal landscape of Lake Vänern, storm gusts of over 25 m/s may likely occur. The wind will peak during the afternoon and then decrease towards the evening.; What should I think about?: Roads may be blocked by fallen trees or branches. There is a risk of delays or canceled departures in public transport. Anchor and secure loose objects, such as trampolines and garden furniture. Be aware that temporary structures such as scaffolding also can blow away. Risk of damage to forest, for example in felling edges and newly thinned forest. There is a risk of disturbances in electricity and telecommunications networks in areas with overhead lines.; Where?: Southern Värmland County, western and northern Västra Götaland County, northernmost Halland County, and westernmost Örebro County; Comments: Other locations in southern Sweden will also experience windy weather, but it is difficult to assess exactly which locations are expected to be affected.
