Spring Sunshine in Western Norway: Weather Winners and Weekend Forecast

March lives up to its name as the first month of spring, and after a long and heavy winter, several parts of the country have had a taste of spring sun this week.

This seems to hold in Western Norway, which has a sunny weekend in the face of spring temperatures, from Stavanger in the south to Molde in the north.

Eastern Norway, on the other hand, will probably have to say goodbye to the sun for this time as it is expected to be a cloudy weekend caused by winds from the northeast.

Will be weather winners

– Yes, Bergen and Vestlandet will be the weather winners. It doesn’t happen often, so we have to brag a bit about it, says state meteorologist Alexander Skeltvedt to The Bergen newspaper Thursday.

A sunny weekend awaits in Western Norway and in central Norway 🌞😍

NB: It is very dry and there is a local risk of grass and heather fires in snow-free areas⚠️

But with good weather comes the risk of forest fires. On Wednesday, Yr issued a yellow danger warning for parts of Vestlandet, Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal. The warning applies until significant rainfall occurs. It is recommended to be careful with open flames and otherwise follow the instructions of local authorities.

– Vegetation can easily ignite and large areas can be affected, the meteorologists warn on their website.

Sleet and snow in the south and north

Southern Norway has not been as lucky with the beginning of March. The week started with sleet and snow in Kristiansand, but they got a glimpse of the sun on Thursday. Friday also looks like it will be a nice day.

It should be enjoyed, because the outlook for the weekend does not look as good. Like Eastern Norway, winds from the north-east will cause cloudy weather, but in the south there will also be a risk of some snow or sleet showers.

The clouds are finally leaving and sun-thirsty southerners can enjoy two nice days ☀️

Use the time well, because by the weekend there will be more clouds and perhaps some scattered precipitation 🌧️🌨️ pic.twitter.com/k77BVwf3uI

The meteorologists declare Nordland as the weather winner in Northern Norway this weekend, here it will be sunny on both Saturday and Sunday. Further north, however, it does not look as promising.

– For Troms and Finnmark, the cloud cover will change more and there may be occasional sleet or snow showers, write Meteorologists at X.
