    The weather here has been weird all summer. I don’t think we got the intense heat the rest of Europe got, instead we got all of the rain that was supposed to fall further south. It’s been raining almost every day for like a week now.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Heavy rain saw Sweden’s Susaback River burst its banks on Tuesday, leading to severe flooding that weather agencies expect to continue.

    Three people were taken to hospital after a train derailed in eastern Sweden when a railway embankment collapsed following heavy rains, police said, as weather agencies warned of more flooding.

    After police and rescue services arrived at the scene it was “determined that the railway embankment had been undermined by the heavy rain and collapsed.”

    Sweden’s national weather agency SMHI had issued several “yellow alerts” for Monday, warning of strong winds, floods and heavy rains in multiple parts of the country as extreme weather “Hans” moved in across the country over the weekend.

    A violent storm is causing major damage to crops and houses, like in the small town of Dobele, some 80 kilometres from Riga, with trees falling on highways and roofs torn off.

    Riga has implemented a red weather warning for parts of the country yet to feel the strength of its blast.
