The people of Bergen are used to sledding and snowball throwing on Christmas Eve mostly taking place on the TV screens.
But this year it looked really promising for a long time. Even the weather experts, led by Eli Kari Gjengedal, stated to BA that there was a high chance of a white Christmas this year.
However, it turns out that the snow probably came a day too early. For the Meteorological Institute brings disappointing news on Christmas Eve.
– On Christmas Eve, a low pressure comes in that brings precipitation and gradually rising temperatures, says state meteorologist Anne Solveig Andersen to BA.
Wet for Christmas porridge
On Thursday and Friday it occasionally snowed heavily. Also into Saturday, there are chances for some scattered snow showers here and there.
But then it gets milder. And wetter.
– On Sunday, the precipitation may start as snow and sleet, but then it gradually changes to rain in the outer regions. If you are at high altitude and inland in the county, the snow may remain, Andersen says.
During Christmas Eve, it is expected that the temperature will be five to six degrees when people get out of their Christmas pajamas and freshen up.
– Is it possible to plan the trip to the Christmas porridge so that you don’t get wet?
– Then you have to eat early. It is difficult to say exactly when the rain will come, but in the morning precipitation is expected which begins in white form and turns to rain in the lowlands, says the state meteorologist.

In general, it is a good idea to check the weather forecast in the hours before the Christmas visits.
– You will notice that it is raining. It will be wet, she states.

– On Monday, northern air masses will move in. Then the snow line goes down again and there will be changing weather with low pressure activity. It seems to be varying, says Andersen.
In connection with the frequent weather changes, the state meteorologist recommends that you pay attention to the road warnings before setting out on a drive.
