The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued a yellow warning for strong or very strong winds in the southern mountain ranges of Jämtlandsfjällen and Härjedalsfjällen. This warning is effective from Sunday at 21:00 to Monday at 23:00. The affected area includes popular ski resorts such as Åre, Duved, Storlien, and Funäsdalen, which are currently crowded due to the ongoing winter sports holiday.

The warning indicates potentially hazardous conditions for anyone venturing into the mountains. SMHI advises those planning excursions to reconsider their trips unless they are well-versed in mountain conditions and safety. This precaution is particularly important given the influx of visitors during the holiday period, as many may not be adequately prepared for the harsh weather conditions expected.

As a response to the warning, it is essential for tourists and locals alike to stay informed about the changing weather conditions and to prioritize safety. The strong winds may pose significant risks, including challenges for those engaged in outdoor activities, calling for increased awareness and preparedness in the mountainous regions of Sweden.
