Hi,
Can anyone please give me any idea of what kind of weather I can expect in
Norway, I go there next weekend. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
It's cold and raining at the moment, is it going to improve?
Bergen, Sognefjord and Nordfjord are the areas to be visited.
Thanks in advance.

Having been there a couple of times before at this time of year, I'd say
that the weather in the valleys will be warm (if it's not raining) and
the weather up the mountains will be cold.

Bergen is a very wet place, so don't be surprised if it rains while you
are there, however, I've been there several times and it's only rained once.

As an example, I first went exactly five years ago in 1999 and stayed at
Voss (which you might pass through). There it was 20°C and warm enough
to sit on the lakeshore in shorts and t-shirt. The next day we went on a
trip on the train to Oslo and passed through the Hardangervidda, which
was still rather cold and most of the lakes were still frozen.

So take all your clothes just in case! (The same applies as I'm planning
my trip to Canada this time next week.)

Have a nice time there - it's certainly a lovely country!

Hi Jonathan,

Calgary, for example, in the last three weeks has seen temperatures in the
low 20's degC and sunshine and also -5degC and heavy snow. It all depends on
whereabouts in the vast country you are going of course !

ATB, Joe

Looking at the NOGAPS charts in the days after tomorrow - which
happens to be Norway's famous national day 17th of May, btw! - it is
really getting chilly. At the current forecast by NOGAPS it really
looks that - especially at the west coast (and mountains) - it may
actually snow at sea level!

It may be that the coming forecast will show a somewhat milder
situation, but since the cold air seems to penetrate almost to Denmark
it is actually a great chance it will snow in the western part of
Southern Norway on the 19-21st.
I have seen no chart for the days after the 21st, so I cannot tell
what will happen thereafter.
Pretty malapropos then that one week ago I recorded in four days
consecutively: 22.6, 25.1!, 26.2!! & 22.6 C at my location here at the
west coast of southern Norway - 62 deg N. On the TV there was talk
about this (and the warm spring uptil then) - was the more or less
definite sign of global warming! There was great flooding in the
eastern part of Southern Norway because of this heathwave also.

In the last 20 years I know only once it has been snowing here in mid/
late May. And I was not even here too see it myself, at the time...

Bjørn Sørheim,
