Looking at a map, Oseborg looks like it is on an exposed island just off the
mainlands North Sea coast, whereas Oslo is pretty sheltered on a fjord-like
inlet, with mountains to it's west. I spose given the right conditions Oslo
get some strong lee-wave winds from the west, or strong funnelled winds from
the south but not at the moment it seems.

Gusting to 101mph at Oseberg in Southern Norway. Slightly confusing as
relatively nearby, Oslo is only 40mph.

Anyone with local knowledge here?!
