Published: Valid: from 08.09.2018 07:00 to 09.09.2018 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Friday morning 7. Sep. 2018
  • Danger decrease: Sunday morning 9. Sep. 2018

Consequence

Local flooding and/or erosional damage in streams and small rivers. Stormwater in urban areas. Rapid increase of discharge in streams and small rivers.

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 waterways clear of snow and ice, sediments, garbage, twigs and leaves.

Description

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.
