Cold winds combined with showers make it feel a little extra autumnal right now, especially in the southern parts of the country.

- We have a Class 1 warning issued for Skåne, and there is a risk of really hard wind gusts, which worst can blow up to 23 meters per second, says Alexandra Olsson, meteorologist at SMHI.

Sunny weekend

But towards the end of the week it turns. The rain area passes and a high-pressure ridge brings with it warmer air just in time for the weekend.

- We have a warm weekend to look forward to with sunny weather both Saturday and Sunday. The hottest thing is in Kalmar County and parts of Sörmland and Östergötland. On Sunday it can be 20 degrees in some places.

Autumn next week

It is important to enjoy the heat of the weekend as long as possible. After Sunday the weather will be uncertain.

- Probably it will change to a slightly more unstable autumnal weather again next week. The heat is dampened and we get new rainfall areas from the west.
