The Meteorological Institute sent eleven danger warnings at yellow level, about storms, squalls and strong gusts of wind in Rogaland, Vestland and parts of Agder.
Most hazard warnings apply Monday through Tuesday and last through Friday.
The danger warnings include, among other things, the recommendations not to go out to sea with a small boat and to secure loose objects.
At the same time as forecasts of storms and strong winds, forecasters are also warning of sleet and precipitation in the mountains of southern Norway.

Strong wind
– A high pressure that is now in the Norwegian Sea will move over Scandinavia and stabilize over Sweden and Finland. At the same time, severe low pressure is coming in from Britain and Iceland, says StormGeo’s shift meteorologist Beathe Tveita.
High pressure and low pressure lead to strong winds in parts of southern Norway, which is why warnings have been issued, says Tveita.
Last week was the core and inner part of Vestland County which was affected by the floods. Now a new storm will hit further south in the county, as well as Rogaland and Agder.
We have issued an alert for strong gusts of wind ⚠️
Local wind gusts of around 27-30 m/s from the southeast are expected in parts of Rogaland and Vestland from Tuesday afternoon.
With the wind comes the danger of snowdrifts in the mountains, so drive according to the conditions 🚙

– Fairly strong wind fields are expected, combined with some precipitation, such as sleet and snow, in the mountains of southern Norway. Whether it’s a strong wind or some snow, it won’t be very pleasant in the southern mountainous regions, says Tveita.
Sleet and snow
There is a small layer of snow in the mountains of Southern Norway, and the snow that arrives this week may make that layer a bit thicker. But no large amounts were reported, Tveita tells StormGeo.
The snow that arrives will settle at 700-800 meters above sea level.

Precipitation can also come in the form of sleet and rain in lower-lying areas. But overall it will be much drier this week than last week, according to forecasters.
Currently only the areas of Langfjella in southern Norway (mountainous area from Jotunheimen and southwards) and parts of Telemark and Vestfold are receiving precipitation according to StormGeo.

It will be nice here
If you want to see the sun this week, you have to stay from Møre and Romsdal and north.
In Finnmark, clouds will block the sun in most places, and it will get colder during the week, but the sun may still come through. Some wind is also expected.
In Troms, Nordland, Trøndelag and Møre and Romsdal sunny weather is expected for most of the week.
In terms of temperature, Møre and Romsdal, Trøndelag and Helgeland in Nordland are the winners.
According to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, it will be particularly hot during the week in the last two locations:
It was mild for the time of year in different places in the country 🌡️ This week it is mainly the coast of Trøndelag and Helgeland that gets the warm air.
The heat is brought with the wind from the east and in those places where the wind is a little stronger, double-digit extra degrees will be possible on Wednesday and Thursday 📈 pic.twitter.com/gdMG6UN1er
