The danger of forest fires is not over

"It still burns in the arid soils in southern Sweden, and the fire risk is still high in many places. The rainy weather is on the way, however, can reduce the risk."

"Right now it burns in the forests in Motala, Södertälje, sweden and Thessaloniki, according to SOS Alarm summary. Total alerted it about 38 cases of fire in the terrain during the tisdagsdygnet, as the emergency services around the country had to go out and put out the fire."

"April was a very burnt month. 1 658 fires in the terrain were reported, against 612 pieces during the same month of last year."

"the fire danger also looks to continue to be great. A few drops of rain have come, but there is still the risk of forest fires in the chips high, " says Lovisa Andersson, duty meteorologist at SMHI."

"– It is still dry in the air and in the ground in many places, " she says."

"During the day a rainstorm to pass down over the land, and it can do to minimise the risk. But it will vary a lot locally, " she says."

"In many places, there is now a eldningsförbud. Kronoberg county administrative board, Blekinge county council, Östergötland county council and Jönköping county administrative board has decided on eldningsförbud there."

"Several municipalities in Skåne have also decided on eldningsförbud and the county administrative board in Skåne discourages also in general from burning outdoors. Also, the county administrative boards in Stockholm, Uppsala, Värmland and Örebro advises against burning outdoors."

"Gräsbrandsrisken has, however, moderated somewhat as the new, green grass has grown up. Parts of Götaland and Svealand, however, is still high risk for grass fires."
