Maybe we’re heading into the final weekend to enjoy the sunshine from a bright blue sky, squeaky snow, and sparkling skiing in southern Norway. For now, the climate is changing and becoming more unstable.
Low pressure from the southwest brings some precipitation and increasing wind to western Norway and Agder on Monday. During the week it will also be cloudy in eastern Norway, which can snow from Wednesday.
– We will receive a weather change early next week. It will be a little less cold, says Rannveig Eikill Meteorological Institute duty officer.
His colleagues tweeting optimistically ask if it is spring that we see in the distance, after an icy start to the year.
Temperature rise
– It may be a bit to assimilate. But the temperature gradually increases during the week. The coast in the west and south gets positive degrees, while the interior will likely remain on the negative side, Eikill says.

– Then come softer air masses from the southwest and a slightly more unstable climate, says Eikill.

Further north it is the other way around.
– Low pressure produces heavy snowfall and high wind in the north. The rains continue through the weekend, but decrease. Nord-Trøndelag also receives a lot of snow at the weekend, says the state meteorologist.
Great danger of avalanches in the north
Next week will be drier in the north of the country.
– The Åland wind means that it is not abnormally cold here. In Tromsø, where I sit, it’s around zero degrees, says Rannveig Eikill on Friday afternoon.
He recommends everyone who wants to go skiing to check the avalanche warnings on varsom.no. The risk of landslides is great from Nord-Trøndelag to Nord-Troms.
Rannveig Eikill cannot say much about the outlook for the winter break, so far the ten-day forecast is not extended.
– We can only hope the snow stays. And it has gotten brighter in most places, says the meteorologist.
