If you are looking for bright spots in life, this is not for you.

In fact, there is no easy way to conclude this, so just calm down.
Friday afternoon there seems to be no doubt. National Day in western Norway becomes humid.
– I can say you should bring an umbrella on May 17th. It will be a bargain. At night, it can break, says observant meteorologist Magnus Haukeland at the Bergen Meteorological Institute.

Basically the same weather will be in sweeteners wherever you are in Westland County.
From the morning, the northwest rises to the breeze. It is true that it decreases throughout the day to a cool breeze in the afternoon and to a breeze at night.
– It is sour, but the umbrella will not fly, promises the meteorologist.

Meteorologists have previously issued yellow hazard warnings for too much snow in western Norway.
Most often it occurs in the period from early Saturday to early Sunday. Then more than half a meter of snow is expected in many places in the mountains of more than 200 to 400 meters.
Overnight Saturday and early Saturday, it is likely to rain less than 200 meters.
Snowman in the mountains
People going out into the mountains should be aware that jogging on snow will provide reduced visibility and opportunities to drive on columns and closed roads. Motorists are encouraged to use the correct tires and drive according to conditions. Locally, there may be difficult driving conditions.
– I don’t think there will be snow on May 17, then there will be snow in the morning. Throughout the day, the temperature rises to five-six-seven degrees, says Haukeland.
Therefore, there is no danger of you sweating in the bunad at the outdoor party anyway.
– How would you like to summarize the weather of May 17?
– It’s not that big, but we are a little used to this. It could have been worse. There is more than a meter of snow in Tromsø, he says.

Nor should we forget that there is a considerable snow avalanche danger at level three this weekend.
This applies to both Indre Fjordane, Voss, and Hardanger.
For Indre Fjordane, this applies to both Friday and Saturday, while the biggest danger is Saturday at Hardanger and Voss.
Varsom.no asks people to avoid play areas where fresh snow accumulates. It is usually behind ridges, in sacks and drainage formations.
It is the strong winds and snow that increase the danger of avalanches.
There is a lot of loose snow on the ground, and the formation of new flakes can become large and unstable.
In the interior fjord, Indre Nordfjord is the most exposed.
There are large shovels on the mountain, so be careful if traveling on ridges and tops from varsom.no is recommended.
Record snow
– It is unusual for snow avalanches to occur this late in the year, but there is record snow in the mountains, says the meteorologist.
He says there is 138 centimeters of snow on Myrkdalen on Friday. 157 centimeters of snow were measured at Finse and 177 centimeters at Midstova, which is west of Finse. There are 96 cm of snow at Filefjell.
– Do you have something encouraging to say to people who are tired of this weather?
– It’s just to endure, then it gets better.
– Is there something to wait for?
– Temperatures will rise on Thursday, Friday and Saturday next week, it will be around 15 degrees. And I doubt the snows will come back then, says Haukeland.
