Storm Boelo has arrived with wind speeds of 29 m/s, bringing the usual suite of cancelled ferries, halted trains and power outages. It has also managed to strand a French warship in Stockholm; the vessel is currently waiting for the weather to improve before it can leave. For the 5,000 residents of Gotland facing a dark night, the wind is reportedly coming from the wrong direction, a phenomenon that makes trees particularly prone to falling.
Public anger has turned toward the church over a planned service featuring Tony Olsson, a convicted police murderer. Elsewhere, the police are looking for Christ Irakoze, who is wanted globally in connection with a separate murder case. For some residents, a recent murder has shaken the sense of safety in their neighborhoods, while the tax office is becoming more lenient; after decades of cuts, the long-held description of the country as a high-tax state is being questioned.
In the Riksdag, the mathematics of power remain unsettled. Magdalena Andersson is exploring the possibility of forming a new government, an endeavor some commentators suggest is fueled by a fear of what might happen under her political rivals. For now, the political future remains uncertain, much like the French warship in the harbor.
