Norway is bracing for a shift in weather patterns as regions across the country prepare for varying conditions.

In the south and east, sunny days are giving way to overcast skies and cooler temperatures, with rain expected in the lowlands and snow above 700 meters.

Residents are advised to prepare for winter driving conditions.

Meanwhile, the west is experiencing a brief spell of good weather before a rainy weekend sets in, affecting the upcoming autumn holidays.

In Trøndelag, persistent clouds and rain are expected, though temperatures will remain mild.

In the north, Nordland faces a snow warning with up to 25 centimeters expected in higher altitudes, while Troms and Finnmark will see fluctuating weather with some snow in the mountains.

Despite the gloomy forecast, Nordland might enjoy some sunny intervals by the end of the weekend.
