It goes from gray and wet, to gray and wetter when the remnants of cyclone “Nigel” reach the Norwegian coast over the weekend. – It seems that it is divided into several systems. The first round already takes place over Sunday. It seems that they mostly hit Rogaland and the furthest south of Vestland, says meteorologist Julie Solsvik Vågane. It happens Sunday evening and Monday night. Then there will be another round on Monday, – We see that there will be some wind from the south-west and a good amount of precipitation during the day on Monday. The remnants of cyclone “Nigel” lead to warnings of large amounts of rainfall, flooding and suspended public transport in Great Britain. On Monday, the remnants will hit Western Norway.Meteorological institute Wind and rain Cyclone “Nigel” built up outside Florida, and the build-up of the storm has led to heavy rainfall in the southern part of the sunshine state, writes SunSenteniel. A tropical cyclone is a storm system, a low pressure, which gets energy from heat released by moist air that rises and condenses, writes Wikipedia. In Great Britain, which will be exposed to the remains of “Nigel” first, a danger warning has been sent out, writes The Independent. – Fortunately, there is a lot of weakening before it gets to us. It will no longer be a hurricane. There will be considerably less wind, says Vågane. Expect large amounts of rainfall.

The way it looks at the moment, it seems that we can get rainfall amounts of around 50 to 70 mm within 24 hours. – So it won’t necessarily be a danger warning for Western Norway, but this is something we have to come back to when we get fine-scale models that go that far. Rogaland has also recently had a lot of rainfall. Recently there was a danger warning in the southern parts of the county, Agder and Telemark. So far, there have been no danger warnings in connection with Nigel. Emergency manager in Rogaland, Reidar Johnsen, says their responsibility only kicks in when there is an orange danger warning. – But in view of the large amounts of rainfall that are expected, I would generally encourage the municipalities to check streams and drains. Private individuals should also do that around their houses, says Johnsen. Julie Solsvik Vågane, meteorologist on duty at Værvarslinga in Western Norway.

Even if it is only remnants that hit the land, a lot of rainfall over two days can cause challenges such as flash floods and large water flows in rivers. Meteorologists are therefore monitoring the situation closely. – Yes, both we from the Meteorological Institute and NVE are looking at what possibilities there are for different types of hazard warning, says Vågane. Gradually, the remains of “Nigel” will move north to Troms and Finnmark. However, the rainfall in the south is still not over, as new low pressures are on their way over the course of the week. – We are in a round with a lot of south-westerly and low pressure coming in from the Atlantic in the coming week, but it is Sunday and Monday that seem to be the wettest, says Vågane.
