On Christmas Day it blew well in several places in the municipality of Tromsø, and on Sunday the force of the wind does not seem to calm down, according to Per Egil Haga, a meteorologist on duty at the northern Norwegian weather forecast circuit.
– It seems that the climate in Tromsø will still be characterized by the center of storms outside Iceland, which gives strong winds in a southeast direction.
On Sunday, according to the meteorologist, there will be a strong gale and a small storm in some places. Therefore, he says that it may be a good idea to check objects that can fly.
– Then there will be gusts that can be quite strong, with wind speeds of 30 m / s that can carry loose objects, and in the worst case a boathouse, says Haga.
– There will probably also be large local variations, as Tromsø is a large municipality. It can be very harsh in some places, but the city of Tromsø is quite sheltered so the wind doesn’t get there.
8 to 10 degrees Celsius
Haga says there will be some clouds in the next few days, but no precipitation or snow is expected during Christmas. It will also be a little colder.
– On Saturday 5.9 degrees below zero was measured at the top of the island. We expect temperatures to drop, and the cold air from the southeast can cause temperatures as low as 8-10 degrees below zero on Sunday, he says.
– Low temperatures and high winds also create a danger of ice formation on boats, especially in the fjords and outside Kvaløya, but this will end on Monday, he adds.
The center of the storm then moves south, so starting Monday it will be calmer and there will be a break in the cloud cover.
– It will still be negative degrees, but quite variable. Tromsø’s record for cold is probably around minus 18 degrees, so at least it will be far from that, he says.
Probably good New Years time
On New Years Eve it currently seems calm winds, with a breeze from the southeast and slightly cloudy weather.
– It seems that good conditions are preparing for the New Year’s celebration, at least from a meteorological point of view, says Haga.
