In southern Sweden and in parts of the Norrland coast, there has been three times as much precipitation as normal during the first week of the year.
It has been the wettest in parts of Östergötland, where the amount of rain has been up to five times as high as usual.
SMHI has now issued yellow warnings for high flows in parts of Blekinge, Kalmar, Kronoberg, Stockholm and Södermanland counties and in areas between Vänern and Vättern.
All warnings apply until further notice.
- Fields and some roads are flooded.
We are at the lowest warning level so far.
But if you live near a stream, you should do what you can to protect yourself, says SVT's meteorologist Jannicke Geitskaret.
In addition, it will be quite windy during Wednesday.
Yellow warnings for wind have been issued for the whole of Stockholm County and parts of Södermanland County until 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
Several train departures between Norrköping and Stockholm are canceled during the day due to the winds, according to Mälartåg.
