Weather sources & averages
Weather sources & averages
Average low and high are averages of daily minima and maxima, with the daily mean between them. Values are day-weighted seasonal averages for 2001–2025 from NASA POWER / MERRA-2 daily records. These are typical conditions, not record extremes or a travel-date forecast. Gridded estimates can differ from a local station.
Precipitation is an estimated three-month total, including rain and snow water equivalent, from NASA POWER’s 2001–2025 climatology. Rain bars compare seasons within this destination.
Current weather-model estimates: MET Norway · CC BY 4.0; converted to your selected units. Location and time zone: GeoNames · CC BY 4.0.
Research reviewed 19 October 2026. Ratings are site interpretations of the cited evidence, not official scores or a live alert feed. Higher bands mean more favorable conditions. Missing evidence stays unscored. National data cannot describe every neighborhood or traveler’s experience. Read the scoring method →
