Best time to visit Norway

Based on a number of criteria such as the weather conditions, cost of flights and hotels, peak travel seasons and much more, May-June is the best time to go to Norway.

Summer temperatures in Oslo, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Norway, can reach a maximum of 26℃ (80℉). The weather at night in the winter, which is around January-time, can get down to a minimum of -14℃ (8℉) in Oslo. Other destinations in Norway can sometimes get even colder than this, so if you’re planning on visiting a few different places, make sure you check out the climate comparison table below.

The longest days between sunrise and sunset in Norway are usually in June, so if you want to get the most out of your daytime activities, be sure to plan your visit around this time. On average it rains the most days in August, making it the wettest month of the year. Although it’s the wet season, it can often rain a little bit during the day or evening but have fine weather for a majority of the day too, so don’t let this put you off.
