Several wildfires are raging around the country and the state weather forecaster, SMHI, has issued forest fire warnings for nearly all of Sweden.

A fire chief in the south-west said firefighters were called to several fires a day in recent days, saying that all were caused by people who ignored warnings.

The wind is causing trouble in some of the areas affected by wildfires and now more people are having to evacuate their homes.

The warmest springtime temperature of the year so far is 14.1 degrees Celsius, and fires are popping up around the country.
