Lakes and rivers in Eastern Norway now have some of the lowest water levels they can have for the time of year. At the same time, there is unusually little snow in the mountains, and thus there is little refill ahead.
Experts fear the future could be like the record year 2020: Shorter and warmer winters, wetter summers.
The birds are singing, the flowers are germinating and the snow is not visible. January is record-breaking in several places in the country and Oslo sets a new snow-free record.
Nearly 1,000 water damages have been reported following the heavy rainfall night to Sunday.
Several trains have been delayed and canceled due to the storm.
On Wednesday, a new precipitation record was measured in Oslo with 22 millimeters in 10 minutes. "We had expected rain showers, but not that it would be so heavy," says state meteorologist.
