From Saturday morning to Sunday morning, heavy rain is expected, with the possibility of very heavy rain. – There is a low pressure moving towards southern Norway and it brings a lot of rain with it. Agder escapes the worst. There will be some precipitation there too, but it is mostly from Telemark and eastwards towards Sweden where the largest amounts come, says state meteorologist Charalampos Sarchosidis to news. The meteorologists report on Friday that 60-80 mm may fall in 24 hours. There may also be transient heavy rain showers, locally 20–30 mm in 1 hour. – The clean-up after the extreme weather “Hans” is not yet finished. This rain is going to delay this work, says Sarchosidis. FLOODING OVER: This is what it looks like in the center of Hamar on Friday morning. More rain will delay the clean-up after “Hans”.

The Swedish Road Administration warns against unnecessary driving at the weekend. – The torrential rain that has been reported over large parts of Eastern Norway from Saturday morning means that we already want to warn people that there may be reduced access on the roads this weekend, says section manager Asbjørn Stensrud in the Norwegian Road Administration. Particularly large amounts of rainfall have been reported for Gudbrandsdalen, Valdres and Hallingdal. Stensrud says that roads can be closed at short notice. Flood danger at orange level Varsom warns of flood danger for several areas at yellow and orange levels. The orange warning for Mjøsa states that the water level reached a peak of 125 m. last weekend and that the water level is sensitive to further rainfall. FLOODED: This is what it looked like at Koigen in Hamar after the rainfall from “Hans”. Photo: Knut Røsrud / news The same applies to parts of the Drammensvassdraget, Tyrifjorden and Randsfjorden. – The rainfall that is expected for the weekend can help keep the water level at a high level for a longer period. – The situation will still be able to lead to flooding, erosion damage and flood damage in exposed places. Along the Vorma, large water flows can lead to the excavation of masses at the foot of slopes. Rapid lowering of the water level after floods can also cause local landslides, says Varsom.no RAIN: It can rain a lot on the roads. Here from Hamar on Friday morning. Photo: Jenny Marie Sveen / news Lots of rain in Eastern Norway this summer It has rained quite a bit in Eastern Norway this summer. – What you may not be used to is how repetitive it has been over a longer period. There is low pressure after low pressure and there has been no peace. All summer there has been low pressure in southern Norway, while the opposite has happened in northern Norway, says state meteorologist Sarchosidis.
