Dominated by the winter season
The climate up here is dominated by the winter season. A long, bitterly cold period with short, clear days, relatively little precipitation mostly in the form of snow, and low humidity.
A friendlier climate than the latitude would indicate
But did you know that although sharing the same latitude as Alaska, Greenland and Siberia, Norway has a pleasant climate compared to these places. Due to the Gulf Stream and warm air currents, Norway has a friendlier climate than the latitude would indicate, and the coldest areas in the winter are often inland or far to the north.
