The morning started with warm summer temperatures in Bergen. Suddenly the sky opened up. Now there is lightning and thunder in several places in Western Norway. – We have received a cold front over Western Norway. It is a mechanism that creates thunderstorms and heavy showers, says state meteorologist Charalampos Sarchosidis in the Meteorological Institute. Not unusual. A danger warning for torrential rain has also been sent out. This means that it will rain 20 millimeters or more in one hour. This type of weather is not unusual in late summer. – It is the season for torrential rain, because thunderclouds thrive in heat. When warm air masses come against the cold, the atmosphere becomes unstable, says Sarchosidis. RAIN: The skies opened up after an unusually warm morning in Bergen.

But Eastern Norway and Southern Norway must prepare for lightning and rain showers this afternoon. Already tonight it will be over. Then it’s Sweden’s turn. They will get stronger showers than us. – The positive thing is that Western Norway will finish with the weather quite quickly, says the meteorologist.
