A low pressure that was near Iceland on Sunday night, during the next 24 hours will become a center of storms that will hit the Norwegian coast from Stadt to Finnmark.
This means strong gusts of wind and a lot of precipitation, state meteorologist Martin Granerød told Nordlys on Sunday night.
– There will be a lot of precipitation from Namdalen and the north. By Sunday night it had already started to rain in Trøndelag, and this precipitation will spread north for the next 24 hours.
In Tromsø and Troms, the rain will start in earnest on Monday morning. The precipitation will continue until the afternoon. Then there will be a period of slightly lighter weather, before it starts to rain again at night, says Granerød.
30 seconds meters
The wind will pick up later in the day tomorrow.
– Salten, Ofoten, Lofoten, Vesterålen and South Troms, the wind will reach 30 meters per second inland. In the city of Tromsø, the wind gusts will not be as strong as 30 seconds meters, but it is reasonable to assume that they can be 20 to 25.
Since there is still a lot of foliage on the toes, the roots can be expected to rot in the most exposed places. The state meteorologist also encourages people to secure boats, trampolines and lawn furniture.
Late on Monday night, the wind will head further west. Tuesday will be a little colder and the snow line will be around 700-800 meters on the coast and a little further down inland.
There will still be low pressure activity on Tuesday and Wednesday.
– But, there is an indication in the coming days that the low pressures will have a path a little further south and, as a general rule, this is good news for northern Norway.
Warns against kayaking and mountain trips
The rescue leader at Northern Norway’s main rescue center, Finn Sortland, strongly encourages people to stay home.
– Earlier today we had an incident in Troms where a kayaker capsized. Now is the time for the fall storms, and I would not recommend anyone to embark on kayak trips, mountain hikes, or the like. Staying home is the safest thing to do, Sortland tells Lofotenposten.
In bad weather, the available capacity for HRS also decreases. The rescue leader says he puts a lot of pressure on his resources.
– This applies to helicopters flying in strong winds, lifeboats and volunteers. This climate creates great challenges for them. If you are trapped in the mountains, it is not certain that help can reach you. It must also be justifiable to rescue teams. People need to think not only of themselves, but also of the volunteers they depend on. Normal weather can be a big help, but someone needs a reminder, he says.
