Emergency services have taken decisions on total fire ban on including Gotland and Kalmar. The sunny weather has meant that it is now very dry in the forest. In the Stockholm area is as yet no prohibition, but which discourages you from burning in nature and calls for caution as disposable barbecues.

Although it may feel damp in the ground in the morning so it is extremely dry right now. One should keep in mind not to light any fires in the woods and grill will be happy to do at home or at the parent grilling, says Per Johansson, lead operator at the rescue center, said.

According to SMHI’s forest fire danger very large in Blekinge. In other parts of eastern Götaland, east Sweden, Vastergotland, Värmland and locally along the coast of Norrland is the fire danger great.

– We have a high pressure that dominates throughout Scandinavia and it looks set to continue into the weekend. Next week there are tendencies that the weather will change, but it is difficult to say at present, says Marcus Sjöstedt, meteorologist at SMHI.
