In the last five years, August has been the month in which the most mountain rescues have been carried out.
September is also a popular month for mountain hiking, the police write.
- It is now that many people pick berries and mushrooms.
You should be aware that the weather can change quickly and freezing temperatures are not unusual in higher terrain, writes Lars Ragnvaldsson.
The mountain rescue takes place in the four mountain counties, Dalarna, Jämtland, Västerbotten and Norrbotten.
They are usually called out due to fall injuries or illness.
