Multiple forest fires broke out along the railway line between Österbybruk and Örbyhus in Uppsala County, Sweden. Fire crews report flames up to about four meters high and have called in aerial resources, including a helicopter, to water-bomb hotspots and search for additional ignitions.
High levels of toxic blue-green algae, which has thrived in this summer's extreme hot weather, is making it more difficult to secure clean drinking water. ...
Tomtasjön, a lake north of Uppsala drained in the 1860s, has been restored to a 40-hectare waterbody. Landowners, with support from the County Administrative Board and EU funds, excavated the basin, and wildlife is now thriving.
