This is very unlikely. Nobody lets teams to travel there just to make cancellation decision in the last minute. These things must be somehow regulated I guess.
Australia was force majeure, Swedish weather isn`t.
Reduced route - this is likely going to happen. Southern from Torsby will be cancelled and northern ones used.
Abou weather predictions - I remember few years ago forecast to indicate +5 for the first day, but in fact we faced - 17 in the same morning.

Seems strange to cancel 3 weeks before based on weather, would expect them to wait until next weekend.

Quite sure they will wait for any final decision until at least 10 more days. Will probably be a statement like "we are monitoring the situation and are in close contact with the organiser....etc." PR stuff to calm down some hyper nervous people.

This test cancellation is a bit rumours, as I understand. There was a quote from AnttiL twitter, but now it`s gone.
Could`t find anything from Toyota`s twitter either.
@AnttiL maybe he adds comment himself.

Well, weather forecast tips over more to minusdegrees again. It will be a nailbiter (say in swedish) and depends on how cool the organizer can stay. And if they can work out a plan B, I would believe.
