Southern Norway is set to experience an early taste of summer next week, with temperatures expected to soar above 20°C in some areas.

Meteorologists predict the warmest days will be midweek, particularly in regions like Buskerud and Oslo, where temperatures could rival Mediterranean destinations like Barcelona and Athens.

This unusual warmth, brought by a high-pressure system, is rare for early April and may even break records.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy the sunny weather but remain cautious of potential nighttime frosts.

Meanwhile, Northern Norway will face a stark contrast, with snow, rain, and colder conditions persisting.

The dramatic weather divide highlights the diverse climate across the country.
