In Northern Norway, we are prepared for all seasons, often within the same day. That’s part of the charm; it’s wild, beautiful and raw in every way – including the weather. On our summer trips, we’ve experienced everything from 33 degrees Celsius and perfect beach weather to 10-12 degrees Celsius with rain coming in sideways. You need to be prepared for the contrasts. Most of the time, we get a little bit of everything.
