2

Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 12.02.2023 11:00 to 13.02.2023 07:00

Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. Possibly cancelled departures for ferry, plane, or other transport. Bridges may be closed. Some journeys may have longer travel times. The power supply may be impacted, due to tree(s) falling over. Some roads may be closed due to trees or other objects in the road. Blowing snow causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads.

Advice

Secure loose objects. Avoid unnecessary journeys to exposed places. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). Be careful in coastal areas. In advance consider measures to limit damage.

Description

Locally strong wind gusts around 27-35 m/s are expected from approximately west, and severe gale force 8 on the coast and in exposed areas inland. The wind gradually decreases Monday morning.
