As Christmas approaches, Norwegians are eagerly watching the weather forecasts to see if snow will grace their holiday.

Meteorologists predict significant regional differences this year.

Northern Norway, particularly Troms and Finnmark, has the best chance for a white Christmas, with consistent sub-zero temperatures and snowfall expected.

In contrast, southern coastal areas like Bergen and Kristiansand are likely to experience rain and milder temperatures, making snow unlikely.

Inland areas of southern Norway and parts of Trøndelag may see a mix of snow and rain, with snow less likely to stick due to fluctuating temperatures.

Oslo and the surrounding regions are also expected to warm up, with rain replacing the current snow cover.

Meteorologists emphasize that the weather remains unpredictable, and conditions could still change as Christmas draws closer.
