Troms, Meteorological Institute | Here comes the spring in northern Norway, the meteorologists write – the colleague calls it “bold”
In the last week, the inhabitants of Troms have experienced a start to the month of May that one will rarely forget. But on Tuesday morning, the Meteorological Institute tweeted its account @meteorologene that spring arrives in northern Norway next week.
«How long does the winter last in northern Norway? Our forecasts suggest more spring temperatures from Wednesday next week “, the message was on Twitter.
But not everyone at the Meteorological Institute has the same level of confidence in forecasts that are so far in the future.
– It was a bit daring of the @meteorologists to post, says on-duty meteorologist, Siri Wiberg to Nordlys.
Furthermore, they write that Indre Strøk of Troms and Finnmark must wait the longest in the spring, but that the temperature will be such that the snow melts.
Unsure
While Eastern Norway bathed in sun this weekend, the northerners have struggled and a new snow record for May was set in Tromsø. And Wiberg warns against letting go of the jubilation.
– It is at the very end of the forecasts, but it seems that there is a little warmer air in the north, but I feel it is still very uncertain, she says.
Wiberg says that 50 percent of the forecasts say that it will be warmer from Thursday.
– Where there is a difference between blue and red air on the map, you can see that Troms is in the red part, which is positive, Wiberg says.

– It looks like at. May 17 will be characterized by showers in Troms. There is a high pressure up towards Nordland, while the onshore wind seems to hit Troms and Finnmark, but this may change. It is difficult to grade so far in time, Wiberg concludes.
