The Dennis storm has so far resulted in closed roads and bridges, floods and canceled trains and ferry trips, especially in western and southern Sweden.

- Dennis has reached storm force in several parts of the country. We have had up to 28-30 meters per second both along the coast and inland, says SVT meteorologist Pia Hultgren.

The windy weather continues during Monday as new bands with strong winds strike Bohuslän, Halland, Värmland and Örebro counties. The weather then moves east during the day.

- In the afternoon, it is instead eastern Svealand and Götaland and the Norrland coast that gets windy. Then the winds slow down slowly and we get a slow transition to colder and more stable weather on Wednesday and Thursday, says Pia Hultgren.

Stagnant trains

Several train and road sections have been closed off due to large amounts of water and fallen trees. The hope is that the trains will start rolling again as usual on Monday.

- The Linköping-Västervik route is scheduled to open on Monday morning and Gothenburg-Borås will be up and running again at 13, says Katarina Wolffram, press communicator at the Swedish Transport Administration.

Four year old injured

The routes to and from Nässjö will start rolling at 12 o'clock on Monday, according to the Swedish Transport Administration's forecast, and the closed tracks in Western Sweden are expected to start at 18. Between Stenungsund and Uddevalla, the aim is to start driving at 15.30.

- But of course it depends on that it does not continue to rain and blow heavily and that there has been no damage to the tracks, says Katarina Wolffram.

In Sweden, no direct weather-related injuries have been reported, but in Zealand in Denmark, a four-year-old girl was seriously injured when a tree blew down on her and her mother, reports Danish media.
