Warning from MET Norway for Western and northern part of Southeast Norway

2

Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 30.01.2023 10:00 to 30.01.2023 16:00

Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. 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). Be careful in coastal areas. In advance consider measures to limit damage.

Description

Locally strong wind gusts around 20-25 m/s are expected from northwest, and severe gale force 9 in mountainous areas. The wind will increase first in western part, and decrease last in eastern part.
