The heat hits Østafjell in full on Wednesday, writes the Meteorological Institute on Twitter.
Locally, temperatures of up to 30 degrees are expected in the coming days.

It is from Wednesday that the heat really sets in. The weather forecast shows that it will be over 27 degrees in the capital from Wednesday until the end of the week.
25 June has so far been the hottest summer day with 28.1 degrees at Blindern. Now it looks like this record will be broken.

– It is especially at the coastal areas in Telemark and towards the Oslofjord, where temperatures can reach over 20 degrees even at night, says the meteorologist.
There are two reasons why it gets so hot, explains the meteorologist.
– The warm weather is due to a high pressure that pulls up from the southwest. It brings with it warm air masses, while there are few clouds. The sun also warms quite well now in August.

The couple Ole Henrik Kipperberg (31) and Sara Holmberg (33) have settled in well in the park. They are delighted with the weather.
– Better late than never, says Ole Henrik.
The citizens of Oslo have been away for much of the summer, and are happy to come home to the good weather.
– There is a real holiday feeling now, says Ole Henrik.
The couple is not alarmed by the heat that is coming.
– I think it’s nice to be able to end the summer at its best. We will probably be found here in the park for the rest of the week, Sara says with a smile.

Several have felt a sense of longing after the hot summer weather in the capital.

When the sun peeks out, it also means more visitors to the restaurants at Sørenga.
Milena Przyborowska, store manager at Paradis Geletaria, says she notices a clear difference on sunny days.
– We are very dependent on the weather here at Sørenga. On gray weather days, it is quite quiet here. At our other branches in Oslo, demand is more stable, says the store manager.
She does not hide that there are stressful days ahead.
– In addition to the fact that there are generally more customers, we also have the sun shining in here until late in the evening. It gets hot to be at work, she says.
