Somewhere in Oslo must still be reporting temperatures, as maxima and

minima still appear in my daily paper. Were you using somewhere in the

city centre or the airport?


01384 Oslo/Gardermoen(204m)


That's interesting. I was digging around on my own, and found this page:

http://www.ogimet.com/display_indica...rway&Send=Send

which reckons that the altitude is 20m!

Actually I may as well use:

01492 Oslo/Blindern(96m)


As that doesn't have an ICAO code attached, I imagine that is the one
station of the three listed on that page not to be located at an
airport. That probably means that its conditions will be more
representative of the built-up area of the city.


According to this page:

Gardermoen is still reporting max and min temperatures, so it looks as
though the problem may lie with the site that you get your data from.
