All the time we have waves of air that moves over the earth. The wave that has now hit us can be described as a wall – a wall with a wide variety of lufttyper on each side of the wall.

– We have a bølgetopp through Norway right now. Air from the Mediterranean is drawn all the way up to central Norway, before the waves down again. The distinction is very sharp, " says Løvdahl.

On one side of the wall is the sub-tropical air, i.e. warm air. On the other is the arctic air, therefore cold air.
