Warning from MET Norway for Parts of northern Norway

2

Possiblity of very strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 30.01.2024 19:00 to 31.01.2024 09:00

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 at higher altitudes causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads. High waves may cause damage to infrastructure and buildings in the coastal zone.

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 30-35 m/s are expected from southwest, possibly 35-42 m/s in coastal areas, and occasionally violent storm force 11 at the coast. On mountain roads blowing snow is expected locally. The wind decreases late Tuesday evening in Nordland, Wednesday morning in Troms and Finnmark.
