Heavy Rain Warning for Eastern Norway

Published: 2024-08-04

Meteorologists have issued a yellow warning for heavy rain across parts of Eastern Norway, including the Innlandet region.

The warning, effective from Sunday morning, indicates that local areas may experience intense rainfall of 20 to 30 millimeters per hour.

This weather pattern is expected to lead to localized flooding and difficult driving conditions due to surface water.

The situation is particularly concerning in Telemark and Buskerud, where heavy downpours are anticipated.

Residents are advised to clear drainage systems to prevent water accumulation.

The recent heavy rains have already caused significant damage in previous weeks, raising concerns about potential new flooding in affected areas.
