The greatest risk today is in Västra Götaland and Östergötland but during the week feared the fire danger increase significantly along the coast of Norrland.
– In some places it is extremely dry. We must now think of to deal with things that can cause a fire very carefully. It goes very quickly, says Leif Sandahl, Director of MSB fire risk forecast.
Several local county councils have introduced fire ban for the past few weeks to dry.
The rescue services have forest fire south of Valdemarsvik under control.
Although the sharp fire in Dalsland believed to have been caused by lightning has stopped.
Eldfronterna is below control after the rescue from Norway with fire helicopter.
But dry air, thunder and wind increase now spread risk today is greatest in Västra Götaland and Östergötland.
– But then shifted risk to northern Sweden. The risk increases significantly. As the fire moves very, very quickly, says Leif Sandahl.
Still, the risk greatest for new fires in southern Sweden, especially Gotland, Blekinge and the southern Swedish highlands. MSB has received reports of several small grass and forest fires started by the cars.
– You should of course carefully with anything that could start a fire. The car can be so hot that it ignites the vegetation. You should stay on a paved road.
The Swedish Civil Contingencies encourage anyone moving out there in the woods to be very careful and follow the forecasts for the fire carefully.
According to Leif Sandahl is the unusually dry place to be this early in the season, and to stop the fires therefore requires urgent action.
– We have a decent store for the small fires, but for the great, we must concentrate efforts and may take two days.
