Flood warning yellow level for Vestlandet

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 09.10.2018 07:00 to 10.10.2018 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Tuesday morning 9. Oct. 2018
  • Danger decrease: Tuesday evening 9. Oct. 2018
  • Height: 0 - 1000 moh

Consequence

Local flooding and/or erosional damage in streams and small rivers. Stormwater in urban areas.

Advice

Stay informed on the development of the weather and the hydrological situation by following the weather forecast and weather radar, as well as updates on varsom.no. Cleaning of drainage paths and culverts is recommended. Keep away from rivers/streams with high flow.

Description

The combination of rain and continuous snow melting will increase water discharge. Rapid increase of discharge in small and medium sized rivers is expected. Hydropower production will in some cases act as flood control, and therefore the issued warning will not necessarily apply to all regulated waterways.
