Wettest August in 43 years
















After one of the warmest and dryest summers in years, residents of southern Norway have had to wade through the wettest month of August since 1963.

With just a few days left in August, meteorologists feel they already can report that large portions of the southeastern districts are setting precipitation records.
Heavy rains are expected over the next few days as well.
Flood warnings remain, but there's some good news: The sudden deluge has raised water levels in several reservoirs, in turn raising hopes that skyrocketing electricity prices may ease.
