– It’s hotter at the North Pole – NRK

The calendar says it is May 14. But it is difficult to understand, especially if you live in the north.

In fact, today it is hotter at the North Pole than in the north of our country, meteorologists write on Twitter.

Tonight, NRK confirms that this is true of a meteorologist on duty.

“It is warmer in the atmosphere at the North Pole than the rest of northern Norway,” says meteorologist on duty Charalampos Sarchosidis.

Cold air masses

NRK wrote yesterday about NHO leader Daniel Bjarmann Simonsen, who had really had enough and sang on Facebook:

“From now on, I will face the snow in anger. It is the only language he understands. In anger he should be expelled.”

But ask how much help. Or, the snow will disappear. But it is not very hot, for a while.

– Northern Norway has had some warmer periods, but it could not have been hot as January 2 is still the hottest day.

– There are cold air masses coming from the north. This is especially true for northern Norway, says climate monitor Helga Therese Tillei Tajet.

Winter logs heater

Until May 22 there will be no days with more than eight degrees anywhere in northern Norway, it seems.

Therefore, it appears that the “warming records” that originated in winter still hold a little longer.

In Bodø (9.3 ° C), Leknes (10 ° C) and Narvik (9.9 ° C), January 2 is still the hottest day of the year.

– This is not common. I don’t have the statistics, but it’s probably very rare, says climate researcher Tillei Tajet.

And to emphasize how bad it is: Bodø actually has the coldest start to May since 1955.

In Bodø tonight there are two degrees. Bodø Mayor Ida Pinnerød (Ap) says it is “broken things”.

– Emil in Lønneberget has a little sister, little Ida, and has a program called “Idas summer visa”. There he sings that you should not think that it will be summer, if nobody accelerates it.

– So my call to Bodø’s many climatic exercises is: Spa the soil and plant some hardy perennials, then some fast growing seeds on the windowsill, shoot in the oven and put on shorts and summer clothes.

Helga will be fine

– It was cruel, yes. I think, laughing the service meteorologist Charalampos Sarchosidis sitting in Tromsø.

– But there are some bright spots ahead, he adds.

Low pressure in Finnmark will characterize the weather across northern Norway the next day. That means sleet and snow tomorrow.

– The good news is that when the low pressure settles north early Saturday and continues to Trøndelag, there will be very pleasant weather in Nordland.

Nordland gets a lot of sun on Saturday. Temperatures can reach “whole” 7–8 degrees on the coast. National Day begins well from Salten and the south.

– May 17 will be quite useful. We have a good morning and tomorrow, especially in Salten and Helgeland. Compared to how it has been, it will be a very nice May 17th.

Nordland gets the best weather on May 17, in northern Norway, says Sarchosidis.

– Finnmark has good weather tomorrow night, and then moves south.

It’s also worth noting that, for the first time since 2004, sea ice along the east coast of Greenland has spread to Jan Mayen.

It has settled in a thick belt along the coast of the volcanic island:
