There are probably many northerners who can agree that this year’s summer has been unusual. Little wind, lots of sun and high temperatures also “tricked” many southerners to the north. But on Thursday we write August 24 in the calendar – also known as Barsok. According to many: the first autumn day of the year. But at the weekend there are probably many people who want to feel everything but autumn. Especially if you are located north of Trøndelag. We are heading towards darker times. Autumn and winter. But the last weekend in August will be hot in large parts of the country. Photo: Sondre Skjelvik / news Heading towards the autumn slaughter Autumn therefore starts on 24 August. This is a feast day for Bartholomew, one of Jesus’ 12 disciples. According to legend, he should have been flayed alive and beheaded. On the primordial staff the disciple received a symbol, a knife. Eventually this became a symbol that it was time for autumn slaughter, writes SNL. Perhaps it is early for autumn slaughter already now, but it will be reminiscent of autumn weather towards the weekend in large parts of the country. For many, mushrooms are a sign of autumn. For others, Barsok is autumn. Photo: Sondre Skjelvik / news – Møre og Romsdal and Trøndelag will experience changing weather throughout the weekend. On Friday, it could be over 20 degrees in the hottest places and periods of sunshine, says on-duty meteorologist Martin Granerød to news. – But it is an expression of periods of rain showers, especially in inland areas. Don’t overlook any rain over the weekend. Especially eastwards towards the mountains, there will be a greater probability of rain. In outer regions there will be lighter cloud cover. Do you feel that autumn is starting? Rain showers for longer periods In Western Norway south of Stad, the weekend will also be characterized by autumnal weather. – The weather will be characterized by low pressure. It often brings a lot of rain with it, the meteorologist acknowledges. – Rain and showers will affect the area for longer periods and temperatures will stay around 16-17 degrees. In Bergen, and in Western Norway, it might be a good idea to bring out the rain jacket next weekend.

But in the last part of the weekend, it may seem that they will be a little more lucky. There is hope for less clouds and more sun on Saturday evening and Sunday, says Granerød. Temperatures will be up to 18-19 degrees. The gray weather will also affect the eastern part of the country. – Friday will probably be characterized by clouds and rain. Temperatures around 18-19 degrees. There may also be periods of rain on Saturday, says the meteorologist and adds: – In the south of eastern Norway, along the coast, it may burst on Sunday. Then there may be some longer periods of sunshine. Great summer weather Are you still reading? So good. Then you remember that the primordial sign for autumn was a knife. The sign for the summer day, on the other hand, is often a tree with leaves. The summer day is also 14 April. And the weather in northern Norway this weekend will be more like summer than autumn. Øra set Ørskroven in Meløy. This weekend you may be lucky to experience summer weather like this in Northern Norway. Photo: Synnøve Sundby Fallmyr / news – It looks like Northern Norway will be weather winners, Granrød asserts. – Several places, especially in the interior, will get great summer weather with over 20 degrees. Really good late summer weather. Nordland and Troms get the very best weather. In the far north of Finnmark, there may be a little more cloud. – In Finnmark, it looks like there will be some longer periods of low cloud cover that could get in the way of the sun. But it seems that there will be mostly dry weather and some periods of sun there as well. A staple in great summer weather. Primstaven is probably wrong about when autumn hits northern Norway, this time. Photo: Lars Verket The temperatures in Finnmark will be around 10–15 degrees where the clouds cover the sun. But when the sun comes out, it can get up to 20 at its hottest in some places. – Many people in Northern Norway are talking about this being the best summer in a very long time. What happened? – In general, northern Norway has been characterized by a lot of high pressure weather throughout July. At the start of summer it was the opposite, then it was fine in the south. But it turned around at some point – and it has remained that way ever since. – This high pressure indicates that many people have experienced that there has been a lot of good weather. In conclusion, the meteorologist states that towards the weekend there is a danger warning that will be in effect: – There is a forest fire warning for Troms. This applies in the future as long as the weather stays good.
