Kent Karlsson is chairman of the community association in Målilla.
Hear in the clip above what he and other Målilla residents think about the heat that has now drawn in.
SVT's meteorologist Tora Tomasdottir said on Wednesday evening that the national record of 38 degrees would be threatened on Thursday and then most likely in either Norrköping or Målilla.
- Målilla is both a cold hole and a heat hole.
It is located in reasonably low terrain where it becomes windless and a little less cloudy.
Then you get solar radiation in the summer and very high temperatures.
In winter, it can also be extremely cold, says Tomasdottir.
