2

Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 22.03.2020 11:00 to 22.03.2020 18:00

Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. Possibly cancelled departures for ferry, plane, or other transport. Bridges may be closed. Some journeys may have longer travel times. The power supply may be impacted, due to tree(s) falling over. Some roads may be closed due to trees or other objects in the road. Blowing snow at higher altitudes causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads.

Advice

Secure loose objects. Avoid unnecessary journeys to exposed places. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no).

Description

From late Sunday morning to late Sunday afternoon, strong winds from southwest with gusts of 30-34 m/s are expected.
