– Already this evening, a danger warning has been sent out for Østafjells, says Magnus Haukeland. He is the meteorologist on duty at the Meteorological Institute and is aware that the weather that is coming now will be of the fine kind. – There will be showers tonight that will spread to Western Norway, and it looks like it will be worst in Rogaland and Hordaland. Heavy rainfall – We believe that there could be over 15 millimeters of rainfall per hour. This can have consequences that are worth noting. – There is heavy rainfall in a short time, which poses a risk of stormwater, local landslides if the showers go on steep slopes, and there could be a risk of stormwater on roads and hydroplaning. Moving north Haukeland says there may also be some rain in Trøndelag and Nordland on Monday. But it is Tuesday that these two counties will feel the most. – It is not until Tuesday evening that it seems to be the worst in Trøndelag and Nordland. The rainy weather is expected to end late Wednesday. WORST TUESDAY: Trøndelag and Nordland will get the most rain on Tuesday, and it should subside on Wednesday.

At the beginning of August, the waterfall rained down, including in Trøndelag where it got so bad that Åge Aleksandersen’s outdoor concert had to be stopped. Many insurance cases were reported after the heavy rain. The Meteorological Institute said earlier this summer that heavy rain will characterize Norwegian summers in the years to come. – We get it more often and more powerfully than before. It is connected to the fact that it is getting warmer and that there is room for more moisture in the air. This increases the potential for heavy rain showers, said senior researcher at the Center for Climate Research CICERO, Borgar Aamaas. There was also torrential rain in Trøndelag earlier in August, which led to several injuries.

This is what traffic operator for Rogaland and Vestland in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Lise Kristoffersen, says. – We are awaiting the situation and we have not received any notification that we will make any preparations, so far. Nevertheless, she says that they will provide continuous information should there be major traffic problems this evening and Tuesday. – We share information on Twitter and they can follow along on 175.no where we post messages if there are closed roads or other things that come up.
