– I don’t think that many people will experience this change of weather as all right. You just have to enjoy the good weather now while you have it, says meteorologist on duty Espen Biseth Granan at the Meteorological Institute. In recent days, people in south-east Norway have benefited from a high pressure that has produced summer temperatures. Today, the temperature is close to the 20s in several places in the country. The warmest was on Etne in Western Norway with 21.7 degrees, according to Granan. At Kjevik in Kristiansand, the thermometer showed 15.7 degrees at most. But unfortunately it won’t last. Yesterday people enjoyed themselves at Sjøsanden in Mandal. According to the weather forecast, Sunday will not be as idyllic on this beach.

On Sunday, there will be precipitation and it will come as snow in some places. – The precipitation in Agder will extend towards Telemark and Eastern Norway. From Sunday morning, there will be precipitation all the way to Møre og Romsdal and up towards Trøndelag, says Granan. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has today issued a yellow danger warning for snow in Eastern Norway north of Lillehammer, southern Trøndelag and the mountains in southern Norway. The warning applies from Sunday morning until late Sunday evening. There is a risk of locally difficult driving conditions in parts of Østlandet and Trøndelag as well as on the mountain passes on Sunday.

The snow will cause locally difficult driving conditions on Hardangervidda, over Dovrefjell and southern areas of Trøndelag. The meteorologist advises people to ensure that the car is well shod this weekend if they are going to drive over the mountain. – Even if the weather is good when you drive up there, there may be snow when you go down. In the mountain passes, I would be careful about driving on summer tyres, says Granan. North wind in sight Precipitation should decrease beyond next week. For the Oslo area, there will be some clouds until Wednesday. The heat, on the other hand, can wait. In Oslo, it will be between 5 and 7 degrees during the day until the week. – We will not get back the high pressure weather we have had. The temperatures will remain relatively low until next weekend, says Granan. He says that this is due to the north wind. – There have been some good and warm days now and the last chance is today. – So if people want to have a beer outside, today is the day? – Yes, it is. In any case, if you want sun. In recent days, people have enjoyed summer temperatures over parts of Norway. From Saturday it will be colder. Photo: Hans Erik Weiby / news
