The warning is valid from Wednesday morning until Thursday morning.

When a red warning is issued, according to the authority, the public in the affected area” should completely refrain from activities that involve vulnerability during expected weather development and take preventive measures to reduce consequences for life, environment and property. “.
” Public and community bodies should adapt activities to meet consequences, take appropriate preventive measures, ensure that necessary information reaches the public, mt increase internal preparedness for future weather development. “
Virtually the whole of Götaland is affected by the snowfall and in addition to the red warning, an orange warning is issued for a larger part of western Götaland and a yellow warning is issued for the rest of Götaland, except the northernmost part.
Orange warning means an expected weather situation with serious consequences for society and danger to the public. Yellow warning means expected weather conditions with consequences for society and certain risks for the public.
