November started with record heat in several places in the country. Takle in Vestland and Lista lighthouse in Agder set a record for the highest measured November temperature ever. Several other places also measured temperatures of more than 16 degrees. And so it has continued. According to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, the first week in November is among the warmest they have measured in several places. – In Mo i Rana, the average this week is normally at zero degrees. This year it has been 6.5, they state on Twitter. Fruholmen lighthouse in Finnmark averaged 6.3 degrees, 3.8 above normal. Oslo can set a record But the heat does not seem to be abating. On the contrary. It could get so hot in the next few days that Oslo could actually end up breaking the two-year-old November heat record of 16.1 degrees. Yr.no reports 17 degrees for Oslo next Friday. – It is probably more likely with 14-15 degrees, but it is not inconceivable that it could be over 16 degrees as well. So there is a little tension there, says on-duty meteorologist Per Egil Haga. Because it will be undeniably mild. Especially in Østafjell, but also in the rest of the country. – It is in østafjells where we get the highest temperatures, especially on Friday and Saturday. There will be some local variations, and several places may get over 15 degrees. You never know with such blow-drying effects, it can produce some surprising results. It will not be as hot in the west and in the north – although there are abnormal temperatures here too, and a lot of rainfall. Especially in Vestland, where a danger warning for the risk of landslides has also been sent out. According to yr.no, Bergen gets 14 degrees this weekend. Bodø gets nine degrees. Trondheim 11. Warm until December? The reason for the heat is that Scandinavia receives mild air masses from the far south of Europe. And it will only continue. – It looks like it will continue with mild weather for the rest of this week, and also next week – and maybe also the week after that again, says meteorologist Haga. Which concludes: – There will be mild weather throughout the country – perhaps until December.
