Heatwave over Southern Norway




Southern Norway is in its second week of a heatwave, with daytime temperatures up around 30C, and the Met Office has issued forest fire warnings for the whole region south of Trondheim, and in particular in the east.

On Sunday the maximum temperature at the Met Office in Oslo was measured at 31.3C, and the forecast says there will be more of the same the whole week, possibly interspersed with a few cooling thundershowers here and there in the afternoon.

Beaches are crowded, and there have unfortunately been a few fatal drowning accidents this past weekend.
