If you are among those who start the autumn holidays on Friday, there is no reason to raise expectations about the weather. The floodgates of heaven will open and give the autumn vacationers some wet days off in the south.
The reason is some low pressure that is out in the Norwegian Sea.
– They bring with them quite a lot of precipitation, says on-duty meteorologist Iselin Skjervagen at the Meteorological Institute to NTB.
– This precipitation hits the areas that start autumn holidays on Friday. So the start of the autumn holidays looks pretty wet, she says.
Especially Friday will be rainy in the south, we must believe the meteorologists.
Next week there are autumn holidays in Oslo, Viken, Agder, Troms and Finnmark, Nordland and Svalbard.
Inland, Møre og Romsdal, Rogaland, Trøndelag, Vestfold and Telemark and Vestland have to wait until next week with the «potato holiday».

Will «bucket down»
Neither the umbrella nor the southwest should be placed in the drawer. On Saturday, the bright spot is that there may be periods of stay-at-home weather, but on Sunday it will again “bucket down”.
Which way this low pressure then takes is uncertain. Preliminary forecasts show that the rain will continue on Monday.
– So it looks like it’s a gray start to the autumn holidays.
Temperatures in southern Norway will be between 10 and 13 degrees in most places. On Friday, Sørlandet can get up to 15 degrees, while in the Inland it can creep down to 9 degrees.
– Great weather
There will not be a big difference in temperatures between north and south, but that’s where the similarities stop – because Northern Norway is the weather winner until Sunday.
Here you can expect what Skjervagen calls great weather. The exception is possibly the southernmost in Nordland, where there may be some precipitation on Friday. But in the rest of northern Norway it looks promising.
What it looks like on Saturday depends on where the low pressure throws off precipitation, but there is a good chance that the weather will be nice on Saturday as well. That means sun, but with a little more clouds.
On Sunday it starts to turn, as the low pressure moves upwards and will give scattered rain.
– Monday also looks bad, then there will be a little more precipitation, says the meteorologist to NTB.
Winter tires?
For many, the autumn holiday means a trip to the mountains. The question is therefore whether you should put shoes on the car and put on winter tires.
According to Skjervagen, there is a southerly direction of the weather, which means that we do not get the cold weather you get if the low pressure had come from the north and down.
– It will not be very cold, but suddenly there may be snow in the mountains. So to be sure, I would probably switch to winter tires, says the meteorologist.
She says that the snow line on Friday will be around 1,400 meters in some places.
Sleet and snow on Svalbard
For Svalbard, it looks good in Longyearbyen on Friday, while precipitation is expected in the far north. There are opportunities for scattered rain and sleet on Saturday, while on Sunday more rain and opportunities for snow are expected in some places.
Temperatures are four degrees on Friday, before it slowly creeps down to one degree on Sunday.
