Visiting Norway In The Summer Season
Summers in Norway are mostly pleasant and can make for an excellent time to plan a visit. The temperature is warmest during the months of June, July and August and can range between 25°C and 30°C. Northern Norway is found in the region known as the Land of the Midnight Sun. The place gets its name from the fact that during the summer months the region receives continues daylight for a prolonged period. The period of continuous daylight increases by one day as one travels up towards the North. In the summer months, one needs to pack lightweight clothes. However, since weather is prone to changing at any time, it is necessary to keep a few woollens and rain gear on hand, especially since evenings can turn cool. The summer months are a great time to visit the fjord regions and interact with the fishermen and become familiar with the Sami people. Summer is also a good time to visit the reindeer herds being reared by the different people.
Northern Norway In The Autumn
Autumn sets in slowly in Northern Norway, with the summer days gradually coming to a close sooner. The sun begins to set earlier each day, heralding the start of autumn. Norway is exceptionally beautiful during this season, and the full glory of nature can be enjoyed in a palette of oranges, yellows and reds. In the autumn season, plan a trip to the Kautokeino village of the Sami people. From a craft school to reindeer breeding facilities, from tents to boats and even reindeer riding sessions during the colder days, there is much to do in the village.
Winter in Northern Norway
Winter lasts from November to March. From the middle of November to the start of February the sun does not rise at all. To enjoy the striking Northern Lights one should plan a visit in February or March. The Arctic climate of the region makes for cold, snowy and windy winters. Packing adequate woollens is mandatory. Whether you want to try riding on snowmobiles or ice fishing, winter is a spectacular time to plan a visit.
