Short summary
Extreme rainfall can cause severe damage, especially in cities. However, national meteorological institutes have difficulties to observe such events.

Sweden’s official monitoring network could not capture the event under study, whereas the complementary sensors contributed to a better understanding of the magnitude of the event.
