Climate and clothingOslo and Norway have four distinct seasons. The weather is constantlychanging, but normally winters (Dec-March) are cold, summers(June-August) are considered warm (according to Norwegian

standards), while spring and autumn connect the two in between.Parallel to the seasons, the number of daylight hours varies from6 hours in mid-December to 20 hours in mid-June.

Summer temperatures vary from 10 degrees Celsius on rainy days to 30degrees Celsius on nice summer days. Expect bathing temperatures of17-22 degrees Celsius in the ord and lakes. Long, light evenings andnights are best spent in a park together with friends, or on the beach.

From September it gets gradually colder (and darker), but the autumncan be nice with sunny days. By mid-November winter sets in, andsnow usually arrives in time for Christmas. It is quite dark and cold inthe months from November until the end of February, so bring warmclothes and warm boots. The white snow makes up for some of thedarkness, reflecting the little light there is. January and February are thebest months for skiing and other winter activities.

In March, the days are already noticeably longer, and you can feel thewarmth of the sun on good days. The first sign of spring is Norwegianstaking to the streets, enjoying the sunshine. This is the time when Oslocomes alive again aer its “winter sleep”. Outdoor cafés will be packedwith people as soon as the temperatures rise above the freezing point.
