While people on the continent sweat in 40 degrees, in recent weeks in the north it has been “rain and around ten degrees” as usual. But now something is happening. The heat wave in Europe is moving north. Already on Christmas Eve, easterners can find their bikinis. But during the first days of next week, it is sun-hungry northerners who finally get to feel a little of the South atmosphere. The meteorologist nevertheless emphasizes that there will be no heat wave in Norway, but good summer temperatures. – Especially in the inner regions of Nordland, inner Troms and Finnmark, temperatures can reach 30 degrees, says on-duty meteorologist Trond Lien at Værvarslinga for Northern Norway. High pressure over Russia Lien explains what is happening up in the upper air layers. – It is the transport of warm air from the Continent that causes the air to be pushed north. This is due to a high pressure over the western part of Russia, which gives southerly winds and warm air in the altitude pulls north. Although the weather forecast is mostly sunny in the interior, there is good news also further out towards the coast. – Right out on the coast, the temperature will be between 15 and 20 degrees. But you will not go far inland until it gets warmer, says Lien. But nothing lasts forever. Northern Norway remains in a zone between cool sea air in the west and warm air in the east. – On the coast, the sea air will eventually push inwards towards land. In the worst case, it could cause sea fog. In the battle between cold and hot air, small low pressures often form, which eventually give rain showers. Cool start to July According to Lien, it is a bit early to tell anyone about the weather in July. But he can give some small hints. Keywords: Enjoy the days ahead of us now. – As it looks right now, it is heading towards cooler weather at the end of June and the turn of the month. Greater low pressure appears, and the sea air will blow inland, says meteorologist on duty Trond Lien.
