As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, most of Norway can expect a chilly and snowy celebration. According to Meteorologisk institutt, the country will experience cold temperatures and snowfall, with some regions receiving up to 24 centimeters in the next 24 hours.
"Det vil være kaldt de fleste steder i landet. Noen steder i Rogaland og Agder kan få plussgrader og nedbør, men det er usikkert om det blir snø eller regn," says Emili Carin Rønning, meteorologist at Meteorologisk institutt.
The cold snap is due to a low-pressure system moving in from the English coast, which will bring rain and snow to southern parts of the country. While the wind will pick up, it’s not expected to be particularly strong.
However, not all of Norway will be shivering this New Year’s Eve. Trøndelag is set for a clear night with plenty of snow on the ground, making it the perfect setting for fireworks displays.
"Prognosene ser gode ut for Trøndelag. Det vil snø på dagen, men det ser ut til at skydekket vil klarne i løpet av kvelden, og det blir fine forhold for fyrverkeri," says Rønning.
While the rest of the country can expect a white New Year’s Eve, Trøndelag will have the added bonus of clear skies, making it the envy of the nation as we ring in 2025.
