Forrests burning in Sweden


Ciczi in Sweden

Hi all.

Maybe some of you have seen on the news that we are having a drought here in Sweden. We are hitting almost three months now without serious rain. I think it has fallen like 20-30 mm of rain on these last three months over my local area. Other parts may have got more or less than that.

Because of the drought and the hot weather, (temperatures up till 30 degrees Celsius and in some places even higher is not normal here) we have several acres of forests on fire. Communities have been evacuated and several European countries sends fire fighting personnel and equipment to assist us. Thank heaven that no one has died in these fires.

For those of you wondering. I'm not in danger and neither is my family. My area of Sweden is almost forest free and my town is surrounded by grain farms.

Coming from an area with forest fires and drought during our summer/fall season, I’m sorry to hear this. We’ve been in the 90s for a few weeks now and the heat and lack of water is a dangerous precursor. Forest fires are hard to control and certainly not predictable. Glad to hear that neighboring countries have sent resources. Haven’t really been listening to news lately so had no idea. Thanks for making us aware. Hope they are able to get them under control and you continue to stay safe.
