The current weather forecast for Oslo and Bergen: snowdrifts on Christmas Eve, and clear and pleasant weather on Christmas Eve.

There is only one catch:
It is a small week until Christmas Eve, so it is not certain that the forecast will be fulfilled.
– Yes, this is a forecast, so there is some uncertainty related to whether the weather on Christmas Eve will actually be like this, says state meteorologist Kristin Seter of the Blindern Meteorological Institute in Oslo.
– But right now the forecasts show snowfall in Oslo and Bergen on Christmas Eve. It also seems like a great Christmas for much of the country. Only in the extreme south, in the Sørlandet lowlands, does it appear to be too soft for precipitation to come as snow, Seter says.

Bankers in the mountains and northern Norway
In the mountains and in Troms and Finnmark there are banks: There it will be white Christmas. It is also quite safe in much of Nordland.
Whereas in other parts of the country, less Sørlandet, there are good chances of waking up to a snow covered landscape on December 24.
– The further south we go, the smoother it gets. Therefore, the precipitation will arrive in the form of sleet south of Oslo and Bergen, while it will likely arrive in the form of rain in Kristiansand, says Seter.
Mild weather and rain until Monday
But the first few days, and until Monday, the weather is mild in much of the country, except for Finnmark.
– It will be unusually smooth across the country to Finnmark, says Seter.
It will rain over much of this area.
After the weekends he turns around.
– We get cooler air from the north. The temperature will normalize. Then it will be a little colder and we can, if the forecasts are correct, get precipitation in the form of snow in the days before Christmas Eve in much of the country, says Seter.
