– Sun, summer and friends are wonderful, says Haakon Løvdokken. He is at Landfalltjern in Drammen with his group of friends to enjoy the sun. All of them are students, and studies will start again soon. – I guess everything has an end, so you just have to enjoy the time as best you can, says Nikolai Opsahl. Long warm period – The next few days will be warm and with lots of sun. If you come in from the coast, it will be between 25 and 30 degrees, says meteorologist Rafael Escobar Løvdal. In some places, they can also get tropical nights. Meteorologist, Rafael Escobar Løvdal Photo: Iselin Fjeld / news – Now we have a high pressure that lies above us. It could therefore look like we get five or six days of heat above 25 degrees. It will probably be the longest period of heat and sun in Eastern Norway so far this year, he says. The previous heat period was from 20 July, when the heat lasted four days before the weather turned again. The highest temperature in Norway so far this year was measured at 33.6 degrees at Lysebotn. In Eastern Norway, Veggli was the warmest at 31.6 degrees. Escobar Løvdal believes this could be the last continuous long period of heat in Eastern Norway this summer. The farmers are jubilant – This is simply fantastic, says Ole Hans Unelsrød, corn farmer from Drammen. Many days of sunshine means that he and other farmers who will now harvest this year’s grain crop, get good quality for all their grain.

Unelsrød has already delivered 100 tonnes of grain.

But it only takes one more day of rain for the quality of the food wheat left outside to disappear, he says. Despite the sunshine cheer among the grain farmers in the Drammen area, the hot weather has caused problems in West Telemark. There has been almost no rainfall since Easter, and the farmers are despairing. Rotting at the root in the west and shrouding in the north In Western Norway and in northern Norway, the weather is completely different. It rains steadily there. – We are in the wettest 24 hours in Nordland now, but it will rain in the days ahead as well, says meteorologist Rafael Escobar Løvdal. On a field in Naustdal in Vestland county, farmer Ingar Horstad stands wading in water. The grass should have been harvested, packed and stored for the winter over two weeks ago. But the rain has made it impossible. The grass rots at the root, says farmer Ingar Horstad Photo: Fredrik Helland / news – You go every day and look at Yr. It is despairing. The grass should have been cut a long time ago. There won’t be any good milk fodder this winter here, he says.
