This winter, the national average temperature is 1.6 degrees below normal. The months behind us are the coldest in ten years.
In addition, winter cold has already set in in October.
– This year the winter was long and cold because the cold started early. It was cold in Norway from October to mid-January, despite the fact that the rest of the world was warm, climate analyst and head of the Norwegian Climate Service Center Anita Verbe Tyrdal said in a press release.

* October: 1.7 degrees below normal
* November: 3.5 degrees below normal
* December: 3.2 degrees below normal
* January: 2.2 degrees below normal
* February: 0.6 degrees above normal
Last year 2012/2013 winters were cold in this country. It was 2.9 degrees below normal.
