Do you think the summer weather has been long overdue? If you live in southern Norway, that opinion is probably correct. Because our unusually few summer days have several places in the south of the country this year, figures from the Meteorological Institute show. A good, Norwegian summer day was defined as a day with a maximum of 1.0 millimeters of precipitation, at the same time as the temperature should be over 20 degrees during the day. Do you recognise your self? Rain in all forms has affected the summer for many this year.

See the statistics on summer days 2000-2019 Tala shows, among other things, that people in Stavanger have hardly had fewer summer days in the last 22 years. As of 14 July, Stavanger had only 11 summer days this year. Only 2017 was worse. Then Stavanger had its worst summer with only 10 summer days.

The figures were collected on 14 July. – Good in the north, bad in the south Climate watch at the Meteorological Institute, Hans Olav Hygen, thinks it is not the best summer for everyone. But there are exceptions. – Often when the weather is bad in the south, it is warmer in the north, and vice versa. The temperature in large parts of southern Norway has been below or around normal, while several towns in the north have been above normal temperature, he says. Hans Olav Hygen thinks we will have nice days, but also a lot of precipitation in the future.

In Tromsø, it has been 11 summer days so far this year, with 3.1 degrees above normal temperature in July. Hokksund comes out best this year with 38 summer days. It comes as no surprise to the climate watch that it is hot days on the western edge of Viken, in the transition to Vestfold. Here is also Nesbyen, which still holds the heat record from June 1970. At that time it was measured 35.6 plus degrees. This year there is also no shortage of heat: 31 summer days. This is exactly where the heat record was seen in 1970.

In 2019 the city reached a peak of 48 summer days. Can turn around – It does not look like Trondheim will have a very big summer But the weather is a combination of climate and unexpected coincidences, and therefore it can turn around, says Hygen. And that also applies to summer-poor Stavanger. One can go for a walk regardless of the weather. sun, and it has seen less this summer Photo: Kristoffer Apall / news Usually it is warmest in Norway in the transition between July and August. the coast – We are facing hot and fine days r, but also a lot of precipitation.
