– Everyone is probably tired of not seeing the sun so much now, and this will be the best weekend so far in 2023, says meteorologist on duty at YR Iselin Skjervagen. Temperatures far above normal and lingering weather are the key words for the weekend weather across the country. – Southern Norway will be the big weather winner in terms of sun, while Northern Norway will have mild weather and heat, summarizes Skjervagen. Steffen Lund has already had a taste of what the weekend can offer. On Friday, he is standing slalom at Hovden in Bykle in Agder. – It is -23 degrees at the bottom of the hill, but no wind. At the top it is actually a lovely temperature and warming sun, he says. Lund has with him Olav Haugland Øvrevik and Emil Haugland Lund, who are cousins. They appreciate the sun. – It’s absolutely sick, a real Easter atmosphere, they say. Cousins Olav Haugland Øvrevik and Emil Haugland Lund enjoy skiing in the fine weather at Hovden in Bykle in Agder.

Saturday will offer lingering weather and little cloud from Trøndelag down to the coast in Sørlandet. – The weather will be glorious, but with few clouds it can be quite cold in the mountains, says the meteorologist. Already during the night to Friday, the temperature dropped to -30 degrees on the mountains in Innlandet. – You should not ignore the fact that it can also happen in the evenings and nights at the weekend, so you must remember to dress well when you go on a trip, urges Skjervagen. The sun will also peek out in southern Norway on Sunday, but along the coast in Sogn og Fjordane and along the west coast towards Bergen there may be precipitation towards the evening on Sunday. – That whole day will be almost as nice as Saturday, says Skjervagen. Ole Lund took the day off work on Friday to go skiing. Here he is at Høgevarde on the Norefjell plateau in Viken.

On Saturday, the temperature will be on the plus side along the coast in Nordland and Troms, and gradually drop towards minus further in from the fjord areas. – The morning offers some snow and sleet showers, before the precipitation decreases and it becomes dry weather. In the evening, there may be precipitation again, also in the form of sleet in inland areas and rain along the coast. It may offer smooth conditions throughout Sunday. – We recommend checking our pages for weather warnings, as there could potentially be a warning about ice, says Skjervagen. Normal temperature and expected temperature on January 22 Normal temperature on January 22: Tromsø: -3.2 degrees Alta: -7.6 degrees Brønnøysund: 1 degree Bergen: 2.5 degrees Ålesund: 3.2 degrees Stavanger: 2.4 degrees Kristiansand: 2.1 degrees Expected temperature January 22, 2023: Tromsø: 7 degrees Alta: 3 degrees Brønnøysund: 6 degrees Bergen: 5 degrees Ålesund: 8 degrees Stavanger: 2 degrees Kristiansand: 1 degree – Bad with replenishment of snow Sunday will be mild weather continue north. In Troms and Finnmark, it will mostly be dry weather all day, while in the evening there will be some precipitation in Nordland. – For those who had hoped for a top-up of snow and ski weather along the coast in the north, I think it will be rather bad. On Sunday, it can be 6–7 plus degrees along the coast from Nordland to Finnmark. On 22 January, the normal temperature in Tromsø is -3.2 degrees, while next Sunday a full 7 plus degrees is expected. – It is not a normal diet, says Skjervagen.
