Sweden's meteorological agency SMHI has issued a yellow warning for snow in Härjedalen, Sveriges Radio reports. The warning points to a risk of slush as snow falls in the area, according to the broadcaster.
Sveriges Radio reported the warning on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The alert covers the risk of snow and the messy, wet conditions that can follow when it mixes with milder ground and air.
Several other Swedish outlets carried related weather reports the same day. Östersunds-Posten warned of snow and a risk of slippery surfaces, while NSD reported that colder air was moving in and identified where snow was expected. Nya Wermlands-Tidningen highlighted areas where snow could affect traffic, and Expressen reported that SMHI had issued a snow warning.
The reports together point to a shift toward wintry conditions in parts of the country, with Härjedalen among the areas named in the warning. Slush — partly melted snow — can make roads and paths both wet and slippery, which is the main concern flagged in the coverage.
Details on the warning's exact duration and the full area it covers were not included in the material available. Readers in affected areas should check SMHI's latest forecasts and any updates to the warning level.
What to watch next: whether SMHI extends the warning to more regions or raises its severity as the colder air continues to move across Sweden.
