The Foreign Office has issued a travel warning for Norway after heavy rains hit the southern part of the country, causing floods, mass evacuations and damage to infrastructure.
Southern Norway has been battered by severe floods over the past week
“Be aware of the current extreme weather warning issued for southern Norway due to heavy rain and risk of floods and landslides,” said the Foreign Office.
