How to talk about the weather in Norwegian? en hetebølge – heatwave (not that you will encounter these very often in Norway).en kuldegrad – when it’s below 0☌ (literally cold degree).
en varmegrad – when it’s above 0☌ (literally warm degree).et uvær – bad weather (as you can see, despite saying there’s no such thing as bad weather, they do have a very specific word for those really horrible, rainy, windy, stormy days).If you need help remembering this, you can learn to sing it the way one of Norway’s most popular bands, Ylvis, does it in their song, The Cabin, while finding out a bit more about Norwegian hyttekultur (cabin culture). – There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate/bad clothing. Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær.Remember this expression, as it might come in handy in the future. Let’s start this lesson with the most common saying you will ever hear in Norway when this particular topic comes up. To make it a bit easier for you, we put together a little guide so you can also start discussing (or complaining about) the weather like a proper Norwegian. It’s no wonder Norwegians have such a varied vocabulary when it comes to discussing mother nature’s whimsical tantrums, be that bright sunlit days or storms so bad you start wondering if Thor himself has descended upon Earth. In some places it rains almost constantly, so much so you’d think you somehow ended up in England, while in other places you’ll find yourself shovelling snow for months on end. In a country as large as Norway, spanning over 2500 km in length, with rugged coastlines, stunning fjords, striking mountains and thousands of different-sized islands, the weather is many things, but never boring.
