Many places in the country experienced night frosts in the night until Tuesday. According to the meteorologist on duty, this is due to low clouds and calm wind conditions.
Even on Wednesday night the temperature is expected to drop below 0 degrees in several locations in eastern Norway and parts of Agder.
– Last night until today (Tuesday), several mountain stations measured 7-8 degrees minus, which is not unusual. But even in the lowlands there were temperatures below freezing and in some places as low as -3, says Per Egil Haga.

He adds that this is the expected level for the next 24 hours as well and that more people may have to scratch the grid on Wednesday morning.
Low pressure dominated
Later in the week, however, it will be milder. Towards the end of the week, the entire kingdom will be dominated by low pressure moving from the Atlantic to the Norwegian coast and mainland.
– There are milder air masses from the south and southwest. Then there will also be precipitation. Also in Agder and the rest of eastern Norway, especially on Friday. It’s not about large quantities, but maybe 5-10 millimeters in some places, says Haga.
A good amount of precipitation is also expected in Rogaland and Vestland counties, where it can be up to 40-50 millimeters.
– Especially in northern Vestland County, there can be a good contribution to reservoir filling, the forecaster added.
