Norwegian Fjords in August - Packing

[gteach]

Hi all,

 

What is the weather and temperature like in the Norwegian Fjords in August?

 

Both on and off the ship?!

 

What do you recommend we pack?

 In my four visits I've had over 20 degrees and full sun, 10 degrees and windy, rain as heavy as I've ever seen lasting days and fog so thick you couldn't see more than 50m.

 

I've also had combinations of these over the course of a week so you need clothing for all.

 

On ship is kept at constant temperature.

We absolutely love the Fjords at any time of the year. We have been twice in the winter (Northern Lights cruises) and twice in July. With both summer cruises it was very hot (over 25 degrees) but, as TheJuggler says, it can vary enormously. We are going again next August on Iona (Covid protocols permitting) so I hope that we will get the hat trick and have a third cruise in glorious weather. As for the ship, my wife and daughters often find the air conditioning a bit too cold in places, so layers are the key when it comes to clothing.
