A weather warning has been issued by the Meteorological Institute for parts of Østlandet, effective from 1:00 PM to 11:59 PM on Wednesday. The alert indicates that locals might face challenging driving conditions as mild weather leads to undercooled rain. This could result in rain freezing upon contact with roadways, vehicles, and various objects, which poses a significant risk to transportation services as well.

The warning notes that the hazardous conditions will initially affect areas along the coastal south and will persist for a longer duration in the inland regions. Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel, equip their vehicles with appropriate tires, and drive cautiously according to the conditions. The Meteorological Institute suggests considering the use of studded tires or spikes due to the impending risks of icy roads.

Overall, the forecast underlines the importance of preparation during adverse weather conditions in Østlandet. It serves as a reminder for drivers to stay informed and responsive to weather updates to ensure safety while travelling in potentially hazardous conditions.
