The powerful heat wave that has recently ravaged large parts of Europe hit Norway mildly this week.
England’s old heat record was beaten on the upswing when temperatures soared above 40 degrees Celsius in central and southern England earlier this week.
Although there were good temperatures in some places in Norway on Wednesday and Thursday, there was no new record in this country. Lysebotn in Rogaland is the place that had the highest measured temperature this week. Here it was 33.6 degrees on Wednesday, with Veggli in Viken in a narrow second place at 31.6 degrees.

State meteorologist at the Meteorological Institute, Ingvild Villa, tells Nettavisen that even though the heat wave has now passed, you can still expect good weather in some places throughout the public holiday.
– The way it looks now, it will be nice and warm towards the end of July. East Norway in particular can expect pleasant temperatures throughout the public holiday, says the Meteorologist.
Villa tells of a dense cloud cover that will lie over Eastern Norway in the coming week and the week after.
– You have to expect some gray weather until July. Although there are good temperatures, there is a chance of cloudy weather, says Villa.
Southern Norway will have similar weather, but the temperature will be somewhat lower, the meteorologist believes.

Still double digits in the North
According to Villa, northern Norway will have the country’s lowest temperatures in the run-up to the holidays. Here, the meteorologist predicts that the scale may begin to approach single-digit degrees of heat.
