This December has been unusually warm in Norway so far, with an average temperature of 3.1 degrees above normal. In some places, it has been the warmest December ever.
This has been the warmest start to December ever measured in Bergen and Oslo, says the meteorologist on duty, Geir Otta Fagerlid, to Norwegian NTB.
Even in northern Norway, there are likely to be heat records in many places on Christmas Eve itself, writes NTB.
In several places in Northern Norway, the avalanche risk is at the red level due to mild temperatures and heavy rain.
