Oppdatert informasjon -

Varsel for Telemark og Vestfold er nedgradert fra gult til grønt.

Consequence

Local flooding and/or erosional damage in streams and small rivers. Rapid increase of discharge in streams and small rivers. May cause closed roads and bridges.

Advice

Cleaning of drainage paths and culverts is recommended. Keep waterways clear of snow and ice, sediments, garbage, twigs and leaves. Keep away from rivers/streams with high flow.

Description

Continuous snow melting will increase water discharge in small and medium sized rivers. Hydropower production will in some cases act as flood control, and therefore the issued warning will not necessarily apply to all regulated waterways.
