When does the weather get warmer in Norway?
Spring. During the months of March, April, and May, the days get longer and the weather gets warmer all over the country. The melting snow creates natural waterfalls everywhere, and together with the blooming flowers – and people – they make spring in Norway quite remarkable.
Why do people say Norway is hotter than Sweden / Finland?
And I am dumbfounded of how people can say that Norway is a hotter place than Sweden and Finland, generally. I live in the South of Norway (furthest away from Antarctica). And around December 2009 it was so cold that cars stopped in the roads because the engines froze. The coldest I’ve seen this winter was -43 degrees Celcius.
How does the ocean affect the weather in Norway?
The ocean, whose surface temperature remains a few degrees above freezing even in winter, tempers the winter weather, while it remains cool in summer, so it reduces the annual temperature range along the coast.
What’s the coldest temperature ever recorded in Norway?

What was the climate like in 1998 and 1999?
Just as the large areas of warm waters associated with an El Niño pattern contributed to the record high temperatures in 1998, the cooler ocean conditions in 1999 associated with cold phase of El Niño (or La Niña) helped to ameliorate what might otherwise have been an even warmer year.
What’s the highest temperature ever recorded in Norway?
On the other hand, in the south, in Nesbyen, in a valley north-west of Oslo, the temperature reached 35.6 °C (96 °F) in June 1970, which is the highest temperature ever in the whole of Norway.
