Unseasonal Warmth Sweeps Across Norway

Published: 2024-10-17

Norway is experiencing an unusual warm spell as warm air from southern Europe moves across the country.

Meteorologists report that temperatures could reach up to 20 degrees Celsius in regions like Møre og Romsdal, with Ørsta-Volda airport already recording 20.9 degrees.

This warm weather is attributed to a föhn wind effect, which is causing temperatures to rise significantly, even in typically cooler areas.

While the warmth is more pronounced in western and central parts of Norway, the entire country is expected to feel milder temperatures.

Such high temperatures in October are rare, making this a notable weather event for the region.
