Warning from MET Norway for Oestafjells

2

Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 19.01.2022 16:00 to 20.01.2022 09:00

Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. Possibly cancelled departures for ferry, plane, or other transport. 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.

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

From Wednesday afternoon to late Thursday morning, gust from northwest is expected. Gusting 19 to 23 m/s. In the mountains more.
