Skogbrannen in the Parish on the afternoon of Saturday, triggered the note-alert.

We tend to support us to a skogbrannindeks, but this fails completely to capture dry weather in combination with low temperatures. When we saw what happened in the Parish, we decided to send out this warning, ” says Larsgård.

January 2014

Although fire weather in October is not hverdagskost, it is not entirely unusual with drought and fire hazard in the winter.

the Rainfall due to the fact that the solid høytrykket has moved eastward. Then pluck lows closer.

From Wednesday the amplifier superhøytrykket himself again and sank westward again. It means even more days with sunshine and østavind.

– Is there no end to finværet?

There are it enough, but as it now looks will finværet characterize large parts of next week and into next weekend, ” says Aabrekk.
