TT News Agency/Mats Andersson via REUTERSSTOCKHOLM, Aug 7 (Reuters) - 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. A train carrying more than 100 passengers derailed in eastern Sweden as the rain partly washed away the railway embankment, injuring three people who were taken to hospital, police said. "This is an effect of climate change, with wilder and wetter weather in Norway," Stoere told public broadcaster NRK.
