Norway is located in the North but thanks to the Gulf Stream, its climate cannot be described as too harsh. This climatic zone here is called “subpolar” with a moderate temperature regime. It is worth noting that the Norwegian climate is somewhat different from that of other countries of modern Scandinavia. In Norway, a lot of precipitation falls within a year. This phenomenon is due to the warm current and the presence of mountain ranges in the territory. In some regions, about 2000 millimeters of precipitation is recorded within a year. Seasons in Norway are presented quite clearly.
With the onset of winter, the air temperature varies within zero degrees. Strong winds often blow and already in the middle of the month, it begins to snows. In January, frosts begin all over the territory of Norway and temperatures in the northern regions of the country reach up to -20°C. During this period in Norway, there are polar nights, and you get to watch the Northern Lights. With the start of February, the air temperature begins to rise although frosts are still witnessed at night. Most of the days in February are cloudy but there is not much snow during this period. From the first days of March, an increase in the hours of daylight is immediately noticeable. Sometimes, there are flurries but the air temperature always rises up in the mountains. In April, the weather becomes more stable although the temperature can drop to zero at night. In May, heat engulfs the entire territory of Norway. Precipitation during this period is rare, though the weather can be safely said to be unpredictable.
