Weather forecast for Norway
Posted by admin in Travel and practical stuff on July 13, 2010
Wondering what the weather will be like during your upcoming trip to Norway? Check out the forecast on www.yr.no. They have weather forecasts, in both English and Norwegian, for more than 700,000 locations in Norway, so wherever you are, they should cover it. You can see the forecast for the next three days at a glance, or look for a long-term forecast (9 days). They even have a page for stats I discovered recently. I’ve just checked out the entry for Fredrikstad, and found out that during the course of the past 12 months, the lowest temperature was an unusually cold -17.7 °C (9 January 2010) and the highest (on 4 July 2009) a very nice 25°C! Ice cream anyone??
