where the models agree, and where they split

Heading to Norway? Norway, Norway, sits at 59.9°N in a cool, high-latitude climate zone. The averages on this page are measured at Oslo, the main gateway for UK travellers; inland and mountain areas run cooler. Before you lock in outdoor plans, compare how the three global models - European (ECMWF), American (GFS) and German (ICON) - forecast Norway right now. Where they agree you can trust it; the days they split are exactly when a single weather app is least reliable. For a city break, the rain hours below tell you which days to plan indoors.
