Northern Norway is bracing for severe weather as meteorologists issue yellow warnings for strong winds across Nord-Troms and Vest-Finnmark.

Winds are expected to reach up to 35 meters per second, prompting advisories to secure loose items and avoid unnecessary travel.

In Hasvik, residents like Anne Olsen-Ryum are taking precautions to protect their properties, such as securing greenhouses against the fierce winds.

The storm, described as the first major autumn storm of the year, is expected to continue affecting the region until Wednesday morning, with potential impacts on power supply and transportation.
