A storm center is moving from Iceland to the Faroe Islands on Saturday. It gives the northern part of the country a pleasant stay and climate in the Christmas space.

In southern Norway, the white Christmas is still waiting. Here you have to cover yourself with a humid Christmas space.

In fact, the Yr meteorological service has issued a warning of the danger of floods and landslides in southern and eastern Norway in the coming days.

Notice notice

Due to the offshore winds that blow across the country, most of Norway will experience winds during Christmas, but to varying degrees.

In southern Norway, the second day of Christmas will be characterized by clouds and precipitation in the form of rain, sleet and snow.

The southern part of the country has had a mild December. This weekend, however, this will change, with southern and eastern Norway getting colder.

Due to the change in temperature, Storm’s on-duty meteorologist Roar Inge Hansen says one should be on the lookout for slippery roads.

– You were called on Christmas Day. The ground is cold, and when it becomes warmer and rainier, it can freeze to the ground. You should be a little careful with that.

The cold change in temperature can also bring snow in some places in the east.

– It will be colder towards the Oslo area. Then there is the possibility of snow and sleet. It could be a white New Year in Oslo.

From Christmas 2 until the weekend, the meteorologist says there will be “normal western weather” in western Norway, in the form of wind and precipitation.

Unlike the Oslo area, the temperature rise will occur rapidly overnight until the second day of Christmas in western Norway. Hansen still says that the inner parts of western Norway must also drive carefully.

Until next week, temperatures will remain stable.

In the mountains it can become a strong gale. According to forecasts, it cannot be ruled out that the wind will pick up with storm force with snowdrifts on the mountain.

Saturated by precipitation

During the weekend, it is the southern and eastern part of Norway that receives the greatest weight of the incoming precipitation. Low pressure from the southeast blows over the country, which means that precipitation will fall on the east side of the mountain.

Hansen says it’s not about extreme rains, but there will be a lot.

– There has been a lot of rainfall in eastern Norway in general. The ground is saturated with precipitation, which will cause the precipitation that arrives in the next few days to escape from the surface. So rivers can become larger than normal and landslides can occur, he says.

Several places throughout southern and eastern Norway have already set new precipitation records. Hansen says up to 600-700 millimeters are recorded in the wettest places.

– It’s a lot to be in those areas.

A maximum of 50-70 millimeters is expected from Sør-Rogaland to Agder, Telemark and Vestfold over the weekend. On Monday it will slow down a bit, but is still expected to reach 30-40 millimeters in parts of southern and eastern Norway.

The best Christmas space weather

If Hansen is to be believed, it is central and northern Norway that has the best Christmas space weather. Despite the low temperatures, there will be many places with good weather.

– Despite the fact that it is the hour of darkness and little sun, it is central and northern Norway that has the best climate in terms of cloudiness, there will be small clouds and blue skies.

On Sunday, the wind will intensify in various parts of the country. In the north, the weather will be quite unstable with wind and precipitation. In some areas, the wind can reach storm force, according to forecasts. During the weekend, however, it seems that the wind will die down.

There will also be a change in temperature, where the degree can reach 0 degrees in central and northern Norway. In the outer regions there may be red temperatures.
