Shock heat in Trøndelag and Nordland:

On Saturday it will be warm and good all over the country, but in Trøndelag and southern parts of Nordland it will boil.

– Already this afternoon, Overhalla in Namdalen had 30 degrees, and tomorrow it will be even warmer. It looks like it could be up to 33 degrees in some places in Trøndelag and on Helgeland, says on-duty meteorologist Geir Bøyum at the Meteorological Institute to Dagbladet.

– Unusual

The region also experienced a similar heat wave in 2019, but it is far from normal, according to the meteorologist.

– In recent years we have had more frequent heat waves, or periods with very high temperatures, but still it is unusual that it is so hot. It does not happen every year, he says.

The heat will also continue beyond next week, where it is expected that there may be as many as three tropical nights in a row.

– Both night to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it can be tropical night in Trøndelag and southern parts of Nordland.


HOT NIGHTS: As many as three nights in a row, there are opportunities for tropical nights in Trøndelag and southern parts of Nordland. So there is no need to sleep away the summer night, and maybe it will be difficult too. Photo: Nils Inge Kruhaug / NTB

For a night to be able to adorn itself with the title tropical night, the degrees can not fall below 20.

– It will probably not be about many and twenty degrees, but just over, says Bøyum.

Must brake loose

Also in Eastern Norway, there are opportunities to collect the first tropical night of the year, and if it happens, it will probably happen the night before Sunday, Bøyum believes.

– It is a small possibility.

Because it will also be hot in Eastern Norway, with temperatures around 25 to 30 degrees.

– It can get over 30 degrees there too, but maybe not up to 33, Bøyum thinks.

HOT: Meteorologist, Julie Solsvik Vågane, says that we can expect up to 30 degrees in some places in the country closer to the weekend.

In Eastern Norway, the weather will also be more unstable, with the possibility of rain showers in Telemark, Agder and Buskerud.

For on «On Sunday it will break loose again in southern Norway», writes the Meteorological Institute on Twitter. “The thunderstorm first moves east, but during the day it moves northwest,” they continue.

– There may be locally heavy rain showers and a good deal of thunder activity. We have therefore sent out a danger warning, says Bøyum.

Fine throughout the country

In the south of Western Norway, there will also be some unstable weather with a risk of rain and thunder, but not as heavy and intense rain showers are expected as in Eastern Norway, Bøyum assures.

– The temperatures will be around 20 on Saturday, and can reach 26-27 degrees on Sunday.

Further north in Western Norway, temperatures will be around 24-27 degrees, but there is a risk of some local rain showers, especially on Sunday.

Also in Troms and Finnmark and northern parts of Nordland, fine weather is expected this weekend, with temperatures around 20 degrees.
