– Last year I went skiing on 14 October. That’s what H\u00e5kon Aartun, manager at Haukeliseter fjellstue, says. He is, so to speak, ready with his ski boots on – but the snow has been slow to arrive so far this year – even though the mountain lodge is a thousand meters above sea level. – Autumn is very unpredictable, so to speak. Suddenly there is a dump, and there are very large fluctuations from year to year, says Aartun. Haukeliseter fjellstue in October 2023. Haukeliseter fjellstue in October 2024. And it is not just the winter favorite Haukeli that is bare at the end of October, in almost the whole country the precipitation has largely fallen as rain. This is due to the location of the high pressures and low pressures, which has meant that Norway has constantly received new low pressures from the Atlantic Ocean. – And it has brought with it warm, mild air and made it humid and, not least, given high temperatures. So the snow has stayed away, says meteorologist Kristian Gislefoss. Has it snowed where you live? Yes, it has snowed a lot here Yes, but it has melted again No, not yet No, only sleet so far Show result Snow in the north, bare in the south Last year it snowed around this time, and large amounts of snow created chaos among other things in Oslo. But for those who are drooling to pull out their skis already, there are currently mixed drops from the state meteorologist. – In the next few days it will snow, at least in northern Norway, says Gislefoss. According to the meteorologist, the cold air will move south, so that towards the weekend Trondheim may also be visited by the snowy weather. – So we are now in a transition where the cold air comes further south. So that more people will probably be able to get a visit from, or a foretaste of, winter now. But in Southern and Eastern Norway there is little to indicate that winter is on the way. There probably won’t be any snow here in the near future, so you’ll probably have to go high up in the mountains, says Gislefoss. – And at Haukelifjell, can the manager there strap on his skis soon? – We can really hope so. Because it goes without saying that it will start snowing in the mountains when we enter November, says Gislefoss. Climate change means fewer days with snow According to climate researcher Karianne \u00d8demark, there is a clear change in days with snowfall in Norway. She has compared the number of snow days from 1961\u20131990 with the number of snow days from 1991\u20132020. Climate researcher Karianne \u00d8demark. Photo: Vilde Jagland – Both Troms\u00f8 and Oslo have an average of ten fewer days of snow now than before. There is a lot, says \u00d8demark. The climate scientist points to changes in the climate and rising temperatures as the reason why we have fewer days with snow. The snowfall will also come later. The number of winter days in Norway is slowly but surely shrinking. – Because autumn eats into winter a little at one end, and spring at the other end, says \u00d8demark. But the climate scientist says one should not fear that winter will disappear for good, because there will always be year-to-year variations. – There will be shorter winters. Some places will probably lose it completely. But then you always want places with low enough temperatures for it to come as snow. But it may happen that people in Oslo think that we have to get used to traveling a little further to be able to safely ski. That’s why Europe is getting warmer Heat waves in Europe come more often, last longer, and reach higher temperatures than before. Researchers are now clear that this is largely due to man-made greenhouse gas emissions. Swipe to read more about how summers have changed, and what we can do with it. AP How much warmer it has become The probability of heat waves in the world is almost three times as great now, as it was before the industrial revolution. In recent years, large parts of Europe have had maximum temperatures around 10 degrees warmer than normal. AP Every degree counts Scientists have been studying human influence on the climate since the early 20th century, and the evidence has grown stronger since then. Nevertheless, the world’s emissions have continued to increase. If global warming reaches 2 degrees, the number of heat waves in the world will probably double from today’s level. 4 degrees of warming can double the number of heat waves once again, according to the UN climate panel. But now something is happening. AP Is there hope? It may be that the world has finally reached the emission peak. The less greenhouse gases we release, the less these changes will continue to escalate. Many big cities have also become better at handling heat waves. Such measures have already meant that fewer people die from the heat than they would otherwise. Published 29\/10\/2024, at 18.24
