Norway has experienced unusually mild and wet weather this holiday season, with temperatures reaching up to 10°C in some areas.

However, a significant shift is expected as the year ends.

Meteorologists predict colder air sweeping across the country on New Year's Eve, bringing snow to most regions.

While southern coastal areas like Rogaland and Agder may see rain or sleet, the rest of the country is likely to enjoy a snowy celebration.

Temperatures are expected to drop to -3°C to -4°C in many areas, with even colder conditions in the mountains and inland regions.

Travelers are advised to prepare for potentially slippery roads and snow-covered landscapes.

Despite the challenges, the snowy weather could create a picturesque start to the new year.
