After a brief return of summer warmth, Norway is bracing for a dramatic weather shift.

The weekend saw record temperatures, with Etne in Vestlandet reaching 30.6 degrees Celsius.

However, meteorologists warn of incoming rain and thunderstorms, particularly in Southern Norway.

By Sunday evening, the weather is expected to turn, with heavy showers and potential thunderstorms hitting the region.

An orange weather warning may be issued due to the expected severe conditions.

Meanwhile, Northern Norway will enjoy continued warm weather, offering a stark contrast to the south's impending autumnal shift.

Residents are advised to make the most of the remaining sunny days before the weather changes drastically.
