Dry hot weather on Norwegian southern coast this July

July 2025 was a warm and sunny month along the southern coast of Norway, continuing a trend of above-average summer temperatures for the region. Here’s a concise overview of the weather pattern:

• Temperature: Average daytime highs on the southern coast (including cities like Oslo and the Bergen-fjord area) typically ranged from 19°C to 22°C (66–72°F), with some inland and especially sunny days pushing higher—up to 25–30°C (77–86°F) was reported for some stretches. Nighttime lows averaged 12–13°C (53–55°F).globalhighlights+3

• Humidity: Humidity hovered around 67–76%. While this adds a bit of stickiness, it also heightened the perception of warmth during sunny periods.sunheron+1

• Rainfall: July brought moderate rainfall, with southern Norway averaging about 14 rainy days (precipitation >2mm) and 101mm (4in) total—not exceptionally wet, but scattered showers were not unusual. The rest of July was largely dry and clear, especially during stretches dominated by high pressure.sunheron

• Sunshine: Days were long (17–18 hours of daylight), and 6–8 hours of sunshine were typical on dry days. Sea temperatures were relatively balmy at 15–18°C (59–64°F), inviting both locals and tourists for swims and seaside activities.hurtigruten+2

• Overall Conditions: The summer rhythm was very much in place—dry spells, sunny skies, and several warm-to-hot days. While sudden showers were possible, especially in the mountains, the coast had stretches that were distinctly warm and dry—making July a prime month for hiking, water sports, and tourism.kimkim+1
