I've been on a ship at Alesund in a late June heatwave. It's still
pretty light at midnight but it was 27C in the daytime, further up at
Trondheim. It's on the Norwegian coast roughly between Bergen and
Trondheim.

Perhaps you know this and are quoting it for comparison, but Ny Alesund
(New Alesund) is not the same place as Alesund.

Ny Alesund is on Spitzbergen island, far north of the Norwegian mainland at
almost 79 degs N.
