Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 24.08.2024 11:00 to 25.08.2024 00:00

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. The strong wind may cause locally high waves in fjords and lakes.

Advice

Secure loose objects. Close windows and doors tightly. Make sure that gutters, scaffolding, aerials and tarpaulins are securely attached. 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 25-30 m/s are expected from west and southwest, and severe gale at the coast. The wind will increase first in southern parts, and decrease last in northern parts.
