Northern Norway is bracing for a powerful storm, with meteorologists issuing warnings for wind gusts up to 35 m/s and waves as high as 13 meters in coastal areas like Lofoten and Vesterålen.

The storm, expected to peak on Thursday, could cause road closures, power outages, and travel disruptions.

Residents are urged to secure loose items and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in exposed areas.

In Finnmark, several roads are already closed due to snow and strong winds, with conditions worsening.

Airlines have also faced challenges, with flights being canceled or rerouted.

The storm is a stark reminder of the region's extreme weather, even as spring approaches.
