At least you get like 22 1/2 hours of sunlight a day then though!
this sounds great until you realize it means it literally doesn’t get dark, for a month straight it is always bright enough that they don’t really even need to turn on the street lamps.
It sucks more than you think it would to not be able to see the night sky properly during the warmest months, all the astronomy up here has to be done when it’s cold 😭
I visited Norway once, in the early '80s. I was a kid, riding in the back of the family station wagon. It was raining like hell. Hard rain, like I’ve only seen on tropical islands, and one time in Mississippi. Then it very quickly stopped. The sun came out. Cars started pulling over on the side of the freeway. We kept driving along. People got out of cars, pulled out fold out chairs, many took off tops, or just rolled up sleeves, and sat by the side of the road, enjoying the bright sun. I don’t know if this is/was a rare occurrence, but it’s one of my stronger memories from our visit.
Summers here can get a get a bit hot too – we had a few weeks last year where the temps barely dipped under 25c at all, even at night.
That, coupled with an apartment in a brick building facing the sun, made to hold as much heat as possible, means next to no sleep :<
Fans need to become a thing in Norway. I get weirded out by the utter lack of air circulation.
Is… is it cold all the time?
Hits about 25C on a good summer day in Oslo. Problem is it doesn’t last too long!
Pretty much all of June July and August was in the 20s in Tromsø last summer. I grew tomatoes and chillis on the balcony. I’d say that qualifies as pretty warm.
Well that’s a little spicy but not bad. How is Norway on trans people….? Asking for a friend… the… the friend is me. I’m the friend.
25C is pretty good! But we can go higher and neither we nor our houses are built for heat, so it gets to be like a thousand degrees indoors at night and we can’t sleep and get dehydrated and desalinated.
I’m considering whether I’ll have to start fleeing to the Northwestern coast to chill with some drizzle instead of getting heat stroke
Wdym? Norwegian summers are freaking awesome! Comfortable temperatures, tons of daylight, easily accessible nature… I always feel bad about missing out on all that if I spend summer vacation abroad
