Bad weather may ruin the World Cup party in Southern Norway
Many Norwegians are looking forward to tonight's World Cup match between Norway and France. Unfortunately, meteorologists are reporting challenging weather conditions for those planning to watch the match outdoors in parts of Southern Norway.
Lightning, thunder, and heavy rainfall are forecast for large parts of the region this evening. This creates uncertainty for the many events planned with large outdoor screens.
Authorities and organizers are asking people to keep an eye on local weather forecasts before heading out. Severe lightning and thunder may require technical equipment to be shut down for safety reasons.
Although the weather looks bleak for outdoor screenings, it is still possible to follow the match from the living room or at local pubs. Great interest in the match is expected, regardless of whether people watch it outside or inside.
