Southern Norway is set to enjoy a week of sunny and stable winter weather, thanks to a persistent high-pressure system.

Meteorologists predict clear skies and minimal wind for regions south of Trøndelag, with temperatures dipping below freezing at night.

While daytime highs may hover just above zero, the sun will provide a welcome respite from the winter chill.

The upcoming winter holiday week for many in Oslo, Akershus, and other southern regions promises excellent skiing conditions, as snow in the mountains is expected to remain intact.

However, residents are advised to dress warmly, as the cold air will linger despite the sunshine.

Meanwhile, Northern Norway faces a mix of rain and snow, with milder temperatures giving way to more typical winter conditions later in the week.

Meteorologists encourage everyone in the south to make the most of the sunny days ahead, as the high-pressure system is expected to hold until the weekend.
