Southern and Eastern Norway have been basking in the sun for the past few weeks, and that doesn’t look like changing anytime soon.
For half of Norway, the long-term forecast is shocking and long-lasting, according to Roar Teigen, long-time meteorologist at StormGeo.

– There are startlingly high temperatures in June, with good weather day after day, he says, and many places in southern Norway could be 30 degrees above normal in the next few weeks.
Despite the good weather, there may still be concerns.
– It’s positive for holidaymakers in Norway, but the positive is that it’s dry, dry, dry in terms of water supply and agriculture, Teigen says.

He insists there will be several days in a row where the sun will be strong in the coming weeks. So it is important to remember to wear sunscreen.
Eastern Norway, southern Norway and Rogaland are at a higher risk of forest fires, so you should be extra careful around open fires.
– Weather is not taken into account
July is very difficult to predict, but it is often very dry and fine in southern Norway in July. Northern Norway is more uncertain.
– It might seem counterintuitive that it would be so nice in southern Norway, but Teigen says the weather doesn’t take that into account.
Until now, it has been a bit cooler in western Norway than in eastern Norway due to more northerly winds along the coast, but temperatures will rise here too.
Not just the sun
Short-term meteorologist Inger Kristin Gjøsæter at StormGeo Good weather never ends.
– By the end of the week, it will creep up to 20-25 degrees in western Norway, he says.

In the coming days, afternoon showers may also occur in southern Norway.
– This is more common when the weather is hot and the ground evaporates. But, he says, it has not rained much.

Finally a happy news
While it has been warm in southern and eastern Norway over the past few weeks, it has been cold and gray for a long time in the north.
– High pressure is now on its way to the northern parts of Scandinavia, which will lead to a clear increase in temperatures.

Gjøsæter says it will be up to 15 degrees in central Norway, Nordland and Tromsø on Friday and Saturday.
– The increase comes a little later in Finnmark, where temperatures will be higher on Sunday. Then it can reach 15-18 degrees.
