WIND OUTBRAKES LORRIES ON SWEDISH MOTORWAY

Observations
Can brake later than the forecast, which is why Thursday arrives on Tuesday.

The qualities that make Max Verstappen quick have leaked into the weather above southern Sweden. Gusts now take corners very late and rain arrives in tight, defensive lines. Max is well and is attempting to collect it back in a cup.

Monday, 09:00: a breeze overtakes a delivery van on the inside. Tuesday, 14:10: drizzle runs a flawless apex around a car park. Thursday, 06:45: a front goes round the showroom in 58 seconds, tyres warm, and Max is still behind it.

"I sell lamps, I know a draught," said Greta, a lamp assistant. "This one came through the bedroom department doing a hairpin, then rain went past me in a very orange mood. Somebody on the radio said 'box, box' and the shelves tidied themselves."

Guidance for the public

Carry an umbrella and expect rain a little earlier than forecast.
