– Good. This is how Sander Isaksen summarizes the temperature of the water in the sea. He swims in the Barents Sea in Vadsø in Finnmark, and perhaps thinks the water is five degrees. – What do you think that the weather is so nice, then? – We can eat lots of ice cream and enjoy ourselves. And bathing, he says, who may have bathed five times this week. In the south of Norway it has been raining all day and on Friday afternoon the temperature in Oslo is 18 degrees. While in the far north of the country there is a heat wave. At Nyrud in Pasvikdalen, what the Meteorological Institute calls a Norwegian heatwave was measured. Maia Kalvik, Andrea Nordenbakk and Oda Kalvik think it was a bit cold in the Barents Sea, but they were also glad they could swim.

Sigrid Auganæs, meteorologist at the Meteorological Institute. Photo: Aurora Ytreberg Meløe / news Following this, there may be some showers. But then it could be a little better. The rest of the weekend and the start of next week look pretty good, according to Auganæs. – Fairly dry weather and temperatures up to 25 degrees in Eastern Norway. A little colder and grayer in Western Norway. Are you waiting for the nice weather? In the meantime, you can flick through pictures from the capital on Friday: Showers and high temperatures in the north On Friday, there may be some showers in the two northernmost counties, according to the meteorologist. There may also be lightning and thunder. Going forward, it may rain a bit, mainly in Nordland and Troms, when the front from Iceland comes north. But on Friday the sun shines in several places, such as in Harstad, for example. Michaela Mlynarova (29) and Loinn Viktoria Goksør (39) are two of those who have chosen to take advantage of the fine weather. – Right now it’s raining in Oslo, so it’s nice to be here, says Mlynarova. She works as a flight attendant and often flies north. Mikaela Mlinorova and Linn-Victoria Goksør brag about Harstad in the sunshine.

DSB has deployed a fire helicopter in Alta. They also deploy a helicopter in Tana. The helicopter that is on fire alert in Alta. Photo: Matheo Dolva / news Lately there have been high temperatures in the north. There is a heat wave in Pasvikdalen in Finnmark. – In other words, a maximum temperature of 27 degrees or more at least five days in a row, says the Meteorological Institute. At the weekend, it can be up to 28-29 degrees in Kirkenes, before the temperatures become lower. On Friday afternoon, the temperature at Marbella in Spain is 26 degrees, while Kirkenes is at 29 degrees. High pressure and low pressure determine the summer weather The meteorologist says that it is still a little too early to say whether there will be another record summer. – But for Northern Norway, we are in a good position for the time being. Especially then in Troms and Finnmark. The fact that Northern Norway has hot summers three years in a row may be a bit of a coincidence. – I can’t guarantee that it will be like this next year, but you can cross your fingers for a warm summer in the north next year as well. – Can we expect more record summers in the coming years? – You shouldn’t ignore it, really. But it really depends on where the high pressure and low pressure are located. – If we suddenly get a very low-pressure summer, it won’t be as hot here.
