Extreme weather in the Nordic countries

Three people have died in Sweden after a powerful winter storm swept across the Nordic countries, causing travel disruptions and power outages.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute issued warnings for strong winds in the northern part of the country as it was hit by Storm Johannes.

According to SMHI data, the hardest-hit area was from Jamtland to the Norrbotten mountains, where winds of up to 150 kilometers per hour were measured, corresponding to the strength of a hurricane.

"Stay inside," said meteorologist Kjell Lund, noting that hurricane-like winds were recorded over Stekenjokke yesterday morning.

According to the BBC, a person in his 50s died after being hit by a tree at the Kungsberget ski resort in the south of the country, local media and police reported; while regional energy company Hemab said one of its employees died in an "on-site" accident.

Police also said a man in his 60s was taken to hospital after being hit by a tree while working in a forest in Hofors, eastern Sweden, and later died from his injuries.

Tens of thousands of homes in Sweden, Norway and Finland have been left without electricity. In Sweden, over 40,000 homes were affected by power outages and many rail services were cancelled, Swedish news agency TT reported.

Several flights, rail services and ferries to various parts of the Nordic countries have been cancelled.

Road and rail services are also disrupted due to storm conditions.

In Norway's Nordland region, one of the country's northernmost counties, the fire department responded to over 200 weather-related incidents, broadcaster NRK reported.

Storm Johannes cut power to about 23,000 homes in Nordland and another 9,000 were left without power in the Inland region, NRK said.

In Finland, the storm, known there as Hannes, subsided on Sunday morning but left over 33,000 homes without power, according to public broadcaster Yle.

Flights at Kittila Airport in northern Finland were suspended after strong winds pushed a passenger plane and a smaller plane off the runway, ending up in a snowdrift, the Helsinki Times reported.

The Swiss Air plane, carrying about 150 passengers, had just arrived from Geneva and was taxiing on the runway when it veered off course, the newspaper said. The smaller plane, a 400XT model, was on the ground at the same time and was also blown off course by the wind, it added.

There were no reports of injuries.

The Swedish Transport Administration announced that many train services will remain suspended until noon on Sunday.
