Regn i Båstad
On 18 August 2022, an extremely very local 45 minutes storm fell over Båstad. There are several observations close to or more than mm. In the summer 1937 there was a famous long-lasting rain, for which the daily value was 150 mm. During the summer 2007, there were many large rainstorms of around 75 mm. I compare the short-term 2022 storm with other large storms observed in Sweden, and I do the same with daily rains. It seems that extreme storms happen randomly and can occur almost anywhere in Sweden. The August 2022 storm is the probably most extreme 45-minutes storm ever occurred in Sweden, although one must be uncertain about how intense it was. However, rain statistics for Båstad do not show that the probability of large storms are higher than at other places.
