In the coming week it may drop to minus 20 degrees – news Vestland

– There are two places that stand out as having the lowest temperatures, says state meteorologist Martin Granerud. The one place is Finnmarksvidda, which is already feeling the cold on Sunday. The other is the north and inland areas of Eastern Norway, such as Tynset and Drevsjø, which will experience similar temperatures in the days that follow. Both places can get temperatures down to minus 20 degrees in the coming week, says the meteorologist. – These are classic places that get very cold, so it is certainly not the first time it has been so cold there, says the meteorologist. First of all, the cold air will hit places like here on the Finnmarksvidda.

From Tuesday and Wednesday, the temperature drops to minus 6 degrees, and the nights are the coldest. – The hope is that the cloud cover will break up a little so that we get a glimpse of the sun, says the state meteorologist. Hoping for ice cover on Savalen Every year hundreds of fishermen come to test their fishing luck on the ice on Savalen. In fact, more fish are caught in the winter than are made with nets in the autumn. Trond Leet, in the Savalen fishing association, is happy that there will be passable ice on the lake, but says that the season is still a few weeks away. – We are used to the cold, so there is no problem with a little frost, he says about the temperatures. And perhaps the double-digit minus degrees can give the fishermen something to stand on in a few weeks. According to the ice warning from NVE, there are large local differences in the country on navigable ice. In most places you have to climb several hundred meters to find safe ice now. It is expected that the ice will strengthen in several places in the coming week. There will be big differences in temperature in the country in the coming week.

Western Norway lies in the middle between high pressure from the north and low pressure in the west. The temperatures will therefore be around 4-5 plus degrees in stark contrast to the rest of the country. Otherwise, light winds from the east have been reported across the country, and fresh breezes in some mountain and fjord areas. – It is scarves and hats that apply for the coming week, concludes Granerud.
