Norway Braces for Severe Weather

Published: 2024-11-15

Norway is preparing for severe weather conditions this weekend, with multiple warnings issued for high water levels and strong winds.

Bergen is taking precautionary measures by setting up a 200-meter flood barrier on Bryggen to prevent potential storm surges.

The Meteorological Institute has issued orange warnings for extremely high water levels in Møre og Romsdal and Trøndelag, and yellow warnings for strong winds in Møre og Romsdal and Sogn og Fjordane.

Residents are advised to avoid coastal areas and secure loose items.

The weather is expected to bring snow and challenging driving conditions, prompting authorities to recommend staying indoors.

The situation is expected to improve by Sunday, but colder temperatures and snow are anticipated, leading to potentially icy roads.
