Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Monday afternoon 16. Oct. 2023
  • Danger decrease: Wednesday evening 18. Oct. 2023
  • Height: 0 - 1000 moh

Consequence

Landslides may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed.

Advice

Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.

Description

In the Trøndelag area there has been intense rain until wednesday morning. The rain will stop now, but the groundwater level and soil moisture are high. The landslide hazard is now generally minor, but along watercourses high discharge can lead to erosion of masses at the foot of slopes. Rapid decline of water levels can also cause local landslides.
