There, the average temperature has been approximately 13.3 degrees for June, which is slightly below the normal which is 13.6 degrees. Rainfall amounts, on the other hand, have been 40 millimeters more than normal in June. Northern Norway is a weather winner – The forecasts for the summer said that we were going to have more rainfall and higher temperatures than normal, says Ervik. And it matches reality quite well. – We have had high temperatures throughout. Ervik thinks the weather is not as bad as people think it is. – Northern Norway may be warmer than normal, and I think that Southern Norway hardly realizes that 20 degrees is still warm. In Bodø, the average temperature has been above what is normal for June. The average temperature was 13.6 degrees. The normal average temperature is 10.8 degrees.
