Even if we immediately turn to September, summer makes an ever-so-small comeback. – Now there are many who can rejoice, says Sigrid Auganæs, meteorologist on duty at the Meteorological Institute. A high pressure is in the process of establishing itself over Norway. It chases rain and clouds away, and draws air with it from the otherwise scorching part of southern Europe. That’s why Eastern Norway woke up to glorious sunshine on Friday, and Southern Norway will follow suit later in the afternoon. – It will actually be quite gloriously fine over large parts of southern Norway now towards the weekend. But also in Western Norway and up in Trøndelag, the weather will be nice with some sun and little precipitation.

In Bergen, rainfall records are falling, and rain has been recorded almost every day in August. On Saturday, they will get a long-awaited glimpse of sunshine, if we are to believe the forecasts. State meteorologist Sigrid Auganæs says that many can enjoy the weekend. Photo: Aurora Ytreberg Meløe / news – Western Norway just has to make do with a little rain today. Then the “dirty weather” moves north, says Auganæs. Unfortunate in the north Everyone who lived north of Trondheim this summer was able to enjoy longer periods of higher temperatures. The coming weekend, however, will not be an extension of the summer. – Northern Norway is not as lucky. It is often the case that when southern Norway is lucky and gets good weather, it is the other way around in the north. But the northerners do not have to wait so long for the next glimpse of sunshine.

A little too nice actually. Because it has been quite dry there, says the meteorologist. No “Indian summer” For the southern part of Norway, the fine weather will remain fairly stable over the weekend. Then comes everyday life and next week there will be a risk of precipitation. But the temperatures will remain quite high. – So it’s a good start to September, then, which is often considered the first autumn month, says Auganæs. – Can we call it an “Indian Summer”? – By definition, I would probably say no, says the meteorologist. There needs to be a really cold period first, before it gets warm again, before you can call it an “Indian summer”. – But perhaps we can call it an “Indian light summer”. – The weather is terrible, says Nicolay Wikstad, who has taken the trip out to Sarpsborg to look at what may be the last remaining summer of the year. Photo: Christian Nygaard-Monsen / news “Indian summer” or not, Nicolay Wikstad in Sarpsborg believes that now it must be enjoyed while one can. – The weather is terrible. Seems like it’s the last hurray of summer, and then all you have to do is get out and enjoy it! Published 30.08.2024, at 11.16 Updated 30.08.2024, at 11.26
