According to The Local, Sweden saw heavy rain over the weekend following a summer of raging wildfires. The torrential downpour left the underpass leading out of the station flooded with knee-height water.
Pictures circulating on social media show people enjoying a nice swim after a busy railway station in Uppsala, Sweden got flooded.
While most people would refrain from wading through the water, many others saw the situation as an opportunity for a fun activity. People decided to take a swim in the water, they also brought swimming pool accessories to use in the water.
