Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. 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. The strong wind may cause locally high waves in fjords and lakes.

Advice

Secure loose objects. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). Be careful in coastal areas.
