Record broken in Northern Norway: "Abnormally warm"

While they are almost drowning in the south, it's abnormally warm in Northern Norway, says meteorologist Sigrid Auganæs to VG. Narvik has had a tropical night, which is rare in September. And on Monday, a new temperature record for September was set in Tromsø with 23.4 degrees. Tromsø has had 38 summer days this year – that is to say days with temperatures of at least 20 degrees. Normally, the city located north has an average of twelve summer days a year. This year, we have reached 38. It has never happened before. The highest it has been before is 27. And that was last year. But now we have broken the record by eleven days. Five counties around Norway have noted new temperature records for September: Vestland with 30.6 degrees in Etne, Rogaland with 30 degrees in Fister, Innlandet with 28.2 degrees in Nord-Odal, Østfold with 27.5 degrees in Brekke, and Troms with 25.9 degrees in Harstad.
