TT News Agency/Mats Andersson via REUTERS STOCKHOLM — Heavy rainfall drenched southern Scandinavia on Monday, causing a train to derail and roads to flood in what officials in Sweden and Norway warned could become the most extreme wet weather system to hit the region in decades. Swedish and Norwegian meteorologists issued red alerts, the most severe warning level, covering several days this week and said the hardest hit places could receive a month or more worth of normal rainfall in 24 hours and the worst floods in 25 years in Norway, or even 50 years for Sweden.
