Seasons
Given Norway’s extreme northerly position, its mainland climate is surprisingly mild.
Norway’s climate fluctuates greatly from year to year, especially in its most northern parts, which are located at the edge of the global temperate zone. The coldest months of the year are January and February and the warmest time in the inland areas is mid-July.

The climate in Norway differs from that of the rest of Scandinavia. The high mountain ranges dividing mainland Norway provide protection from precipitation to large areas of inland eastern Norway, giving this area a more continental climate than would be expected in light of its proximity to the coast. Some of these areas east of the mountains have an annual rainfall of less than 300 mm. Most of the precipitation from the sea falls along the west coast of Norway, with some areas recording a maximum rainfall of 3000 mm annually. Most of the rain usually falls in July and August. There are about 100 rainy days in inland Norway.
