The Norwegian Meteorological Institute uses poetic formulations to describe the satellite image that was taken last night over southern Norway.

In the image you can see the light of countless cities and towns shining against the night sky.

On-duty meteorologist Marit Berger says it’s unusual for both eastern and western Norway to have such good weather at the same time.

– It’s a nice image that shows something as rare as the whole of southern Norway has few clouds. It often happens that if it is clear in Austland, then there are a lot of clouds in western Norway, or vice versa.

Explains with great pressure the unusual situation that these days looms over the Faroe Islands.

– With the location of the high pressure, it means that all of southern Norway, south of Stad, will be in a good position.

Good technology

The technology that captures night images has gotten so good in recent years that most are captured. Therefore, it can be concluded that last night there was hardly a larger cloud over the whole of southern Norway.

– Fog can sometimes be difficult to see because there is little contrast, but the large frontal systems are easier to see, says Berger.

The satellite image of all of Norway last night clearly shows that there is low pressure over parts of northern Norway, while it is clear and pleasant in southern Norway.

Snow in the north

In the coming days, cooler weather will be reported in northern Norway and central Norway, which may mean snow.

– It seems that there will be a low pressure between the mainland, Greenland and Svalbard. Bring cold air from the Stad and the north.

For example, it is a bit uncertain when the snow line will arrive, but probably lower than it has been so far this fall.

– It can be between 200 and 300 meters above sea level. There’s definitely more winter weather waiting up north, Berger says.

In the south, the high pressure will continue, at least on Thursday and Friday. Berger is not ruling out that there may be a new cloudless night and more excellent satellite images in the coming days.
