While southern Norway has had a wet summer, northern Norway has been the big weather winner. This year’s July is the warmest in Northern Norway since 1937. And that’s not enough. After a few days of gray weather, August also offers real summer weather in the north. Because already on Saturday, the temperature rises towards 25 degrees and the sun is back: Bodø: 24 degrees Mo i Rana: 25 degrees Tromsø: 23 degrees Harstad: 23 degrees – The next few days will be characterized by fine weather and warm temperatures. The fine weather applies from the south of Nordland to Finnmark in the north, says on-duty meteorologist Emily Carin Rønning to news.

The typical summer weather continues now and into next week. – It looks like a new low pressure system will arrive on Wednesday and Thursday, which will hit Nordland and parts of Troms. While the rest of Troms and Finnmark will be shielded from the low pressure. High pressure protects Finnmark This is due to high pressure located north of Finnmark and the Kola Peninsula. – This means that the low pressure system coming from the south is blocked, which leads to little wind in the interior and dry, warm weather. But the heat has a downside. In Troms and Finnmark, there is a warning of a high risk of forest fire at the orange level. Vegetation can very easily ignite and very large areas can be affected, warns the Meteorological Institute. A bath is not to be despised in the heat. Here from Seløy on Helgeland earlier this summer.

In both Oslo, Kristiansand and Bergen, rain and precipitation are expected at the weekend and beyond next week. Although it can be sunny in some places. – From Saturday, a low pressure will come in, which will bring precipitation towards Western Norway. We have also sent out a danger warning for torrential rain for northern parts of southern Norway, says on-duty meteorologist Ingvild Willa. Western Norway receives the worst rainfall. In Oslo and in Eastern Norway, temperatures will be around 20 degrees. – Southern Norway and parts of Eastern Norway seem to be in trouble, while Western Norway will be the wettest and temperatures will drop. In Eastern Norway, there will be precipitation, but still stable temperatures. – In Oslo, the temperature will still be 20 degrees at the weekend and at the start of next week. Now we are a bit back to the weather we have had this summer. In July, rainfall was above normal in Eastern Norway. But now it has shifted to Western Norway. Published 02.08.2024, at 1 p.m
