A severe weather warning has been issued for parts of Southern Norway, particularly in Østlandet, Agder, and Telemark, as meteorologists predict heavy rainfall and thunderstorms over the next few days.

A cold front is moving through the region, leading to expected rainfall of 30-50 millimeters in some areas.

Local authorities are on alert, with reports of flooding and evacuations in Bø due to rising water levels.

The situation is compounded by the risk of landslides and flash floods, prompting warnings for residents to stay away from steep slopes and fast-flowing rivers.

While the weather is unstable, there is still hope for warmer temperatures later in the week, with some areas potentially reaching 23-24 degrees Celsius before more rain arrives.

Residents are advised to prepare for rapidly changing weather conditions and to stay informed through local updates.
