Winter weather in Norway - in July

[davecttr]

Just got my pre cruise booklet for my norway cruise on Oceana in July

 

Especially interesting was the important information section. apparently we are going to get average temperatures of minus 1C and there is advice on winter clothing. :confused:

 

Wonder who P&O use for their weather forecasts :rolleyes:

Hi, it is best to use the theory of layering i.e. base mid and top. Make sure the top layer is windproof and waterproof. You will probably find you can have all 4 seasons in the space of a couple of hours. Whatever the weather I hope you enjoy.

On our first cruise we went to Norway at the end of June. We had snow in Geiranger. You have to be prepared for anything.

We did a midnight sun cruise and when we were at the North Cape we had all weather sun, rain and sleet but it was never really that cold just blustery and that was in May/June.

They don't know what the weather's going to do in July. Norway weather is no more reliable than English weather. But as Bergen's record lowest nighttime temperature in July is plus 5 degrees C, there's no way (barring a snap Ice Age) that the average temperature will be that low.

In fairness it depends where the cruise is going. If it is going to Svalbard (600 miles from the North Pole) you could easily experience minus temperatures in July. As an average for the whole trip however, I agree, that is nonsense. The weather for most of it will be similar to that of Scotland.

Just returned today from the Fjords and apart from Bergen which was cloudy we had wall to wall sunshine and sunbathing temps. In fact in Olden it was too hot to sit in the sun.
