When to go to Norway?

Paolo's tips, local guide
Paolo's tips, local guide

Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream currents along the country's coastline, Norway enjoys a temperate climate despite its geographical location. Temperatures and the weather are unsettled, so you may experience significant heat for days (30°C), then wind and rain will see the mercury fall suddenly to 5°C. On average, temperatures range from 1°C to 16°C in the south and -3°C to 13°C in the north of the country, with peaks of 32°C on the hottest days and -40°C during the winter, in the area closest to the Swedish border. While Bergen and the southwestern cities experience heavy rains throughout the year, Alta and the far north are drier than the Sahara. Nevertheless, most of the country remains showery through the year. Additionally, during a trip to Norway, there are two climatic phenomena not to be missed: The midnight sun, witnessed within the Arctic Circle during summer, and the polar night (November to January) during which only snow-white, northern lights and bare twilight illuminate the landscape in certain parts of the country.

Below you will find all the climatic information to know when to go to Norway.
