High waves and heavy rainfall, with 80 to 120 mm expected in Western Norway, have led to flight cancellations and ferry service disruptions affecting thousands.

Storm Floris made landfall in Norway late Monday evening, prompting the Meteorological Institute to issue an orange warning for several regions. The storm's most severe effects are expected to be felt throughout Tuesday.
Packing wind gusts of up to 35 meters per second, the storm will hit Rogaland, Sunnhordland, and Agder. "The strongest gusts are expected along the coast and in the mountains," state meteorologist Alexander Skeltved told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).
High waves are also expected along the coast and into some fjords. The heaviest rainfall is expected first in the southern parts of Western Norway, where a yellow warning has been issued.
Residents in affected areas are urged to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and monitor further weather updates on varsom.no as the storm system moves north.
