Hail and winds caused problems

A low pressure Northwest of Norway formed some Cumulonimbus rotating around it and some of those stroke the Western and Southern parts of Norway Sunday night (10/11). After a constant rainfall on Sunday, the sun suddenly appeared in the afternoon and some Cumulus and Cumulonimbus clouds could be seen.

However, those clouds were not getting closer until it started to rain at 22:30. Also one lightning made a quite loud rumble, but there must not have been many more in the area.

Next day, my grandparents told me that there was a severe hailstorm, that covered everything with hail at night, while I was unfortunately sleeping! They also said that they had heard more rumbles. I heard the same thing on the radio and I found some more info about it here:

The photos are taken in Kristiansand, a city 71km Southwest of here, so many areas must have got affected by hail.

Electricity cuts have also happened because of severe winds and thunder.

The wind gusts here in Arendal were once again high, up to 25-26m/s.

 

Storm with 22,9m/s in Eastern Norway, too.
