Are you wondering if you should find an umbrella or sunglasses during the Whitsun weekend? The answer is probably both, regardless of where in the country you are. This weekend, changing weather is expected throughout Norway.
State meteorologist at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Pernille Borander, warns of a generally gray Pentecost for large parts of the country. But one part of the country stands out.
Friday will be the best
– In Eastern Norway and Southern Norway, Friday will be the nicest day. There may be some rain showers, but there will also be inclement weather. On Saturday and Sunday it will be gray and wet due to low pressure from the south, but on Monday it will be somewhat lighter weather, says Borander.
– Low pressure on all sides ensures a rainy Pentecost weekend in southern Norway, and Østafjells will probably walk away with the prize for the wettest Pentecost, the Meteorological Institute writes on Twitter.
Both Eastern Norway and Southern Norway have already had more precipitation in several places than is normal for the whole month of May, but even though the Pentecost weekend in southern Norway seems to be very wet, there may still be some pleasant weather with a glimpse of sun.
Tired of changing weather? While we wait for a stable high pressure, we will follow for the next ten days, and it will probably continue with low pressure on all sides ????
We have a hope that June will be much better (but it may just be wishful thinking)! ????☀️ pic.twitter.com/hPgjlXqRG5

The state meteorologist can warn that one part of the country will have a pretty nice Pentecost weekend.
Pentecost weather winner
– Central Norway will definitely have the nicest long weekend. It will not be sunny and cloudless skies, but there are good opportunities for long periods of sun in large parts of Møre og Romsdal, Trøndelag and Nordland, says Borander.
Also in Central Norway there will be changing cloud cover. If the plan is to go to the cabin or the mountains, it may be okay to dress for all kinds of weather.
The world’s largest – only ice cubes left
In Western Norway, Pentecost is quite similar to the east and south – only a little wetter.
– On Friday it will be mostly stay-at-home weather, but then there will be gradually more precipitation throughout the day. Saturday and Sunday will also be the wettest days in Western Norway. On Monday it will also be gray and wet. It will generally be a cloudy Pentecost in Western Norway south of Stadt, says Borander.
Winter is not over in Troms and Finnmark.
