Halden will get very hot today. Cutting time The warmest will be this afternoon. Then as many as 7,000 people gather at Fredriksten fortress in the city to take part in the recording of Allsang on the border. – There will be many people and many temperatures.

Now they are preparing as best they can for the heat. – We speed up and cut time where we can, so that the recording is as efficient as possible. We also lower the prices of water, lay out water hoses, and encourage people to bring drinks and some salt to eat, says Lie. Can reach 33 degrees In both Eastern and Southern Norway, temperatures of more than 30 degrees are likely today. In several places in the inner part of Telemark, temperatures can reach 32 or 33 degrees. – A little inland, the temperatures will be highest. For Vestfold and Telemark, it is when you enter Fyresdal and Notodden, says meteorologist Borander. However, there will hardly be any new heat records today, neither county records nor Norway records. – We are some distance away from the Norwegian record, which is 35.6 degrees in Nesbyen.
