If you woke up this morning in Eik in Lund municipality in the south of Rogaland, it was 12.5 degrees Celsius outside. At the same time, it was a spring-like 5.8 plus degrees on Karmøy, in the far north of the county. State meteorologist Dina Stabell can confirm that such large temperature differences locally are rare, especially when both temperatures are measured in the lowlands. – These are quite big differences. If the one measuring station had been on the mountain, it would perhaps have been more normal. Different reasons Stabell says that there can be different explanations for such local temperature differences, including wind direction and ocean currents. – Presumably this has to do with the ocean currents, meaning that warmer water enters the north of Rogaland than what comes further south. The state meteorologist explains that it is often warmest along the coast in winter, precisely because the sea has a warming effect. Several places in the country It was not only in Rogaland that you could boast of remarkable temperatures earlier today. Corresponding local temperature differences were also experienced in several places in Southern and Eastern Norway. According to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, this will usually only occur at this time of year, and is due to warm air striking areas with cold air. In some places, the cold air lingers, and ensures large local temperature differences. Rise by 8 degrees in one hour At Blindern in Oslo, the temperature rose by over eight degrees in one hour on Thursday night, write Meteorologists at X (external link). At seven o’clock this morning, the Meteorological Institute measured 7.7 plus degrees in the same place, which was the warmest in the country. This just a week after the weather forecast announced 25 degrees Celsius in the capital.
