Right now in our town it is transition between spring-winter and spring (eight seasons) and even if the winds are at times storm strenght (vindkast på 30m/s) we are so happy to walk on bare ground after many months of the winter seasons. What I like most about spring is that it is so different since most of our year is winter seasons and the snow is beginning to really melt away most places. And the Sun is up for so long and daylight early, sun is up at 5 am/in the morning here. So thank God and Nature for the eight seasons and our wonderful planet Earth ❤
We in the Arctic regions have Midnight sun in summer time so the stars cannot be seen in these months. The few times I’ve been to more Southern regions in summer season holiday the sky really is dark, in comparison to our summer.
The favourite things about visiting South in summer season is it’s just strange it gets so dark and the times we saw the visible stars in the night sky ❤
I actually enjoy being out in the sunshine when we are lucky enough to have it, since we have several months every year with no sunlight at all; from late November to mid January months we have all-day twilight or polar nights as a result of our Arctic location. And my favourite weather conditions include lots of sunlight whether it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter.
I haven’t found my sunglasses yet and I’m often light sensitive so I often need them, especially outside in brighter days on Easter holiday in the Mountains at our family cottage. Another great thing about living so far North is in summer time we have real all-day light for almost entire summer season, the Midnight sun is real and a powerful reason to visit here if you want to experience the Northern conditions. Being outside during Midnight sun is very rewarding mentally, I have done errands I could get done outside and walking home is easy and importantly quite safe. It can be somewhat difficult even for natives like me to be able to fall and stay asleep during this time, so have sleep aid/sleeping pills and very importantly find some type of dark cover on the bedroom window.
Thanks for reading this blog, and enjoy the pretty sunshine weather while you can ❤
My favourite summer season weather is as I answer before around 20°C and mostly clear sky. I enjoy cold drinks and our wonderful view from the garden outside. And the Midnight sun is beautiful in it’s glory, even trying to sleep it’s worth the wait for summer. I take my sleeping pills as needed and try to cover window with dark curtains, i do need better dark curtains this year.
In winter season my favourite weather is quite cold, dry and a mix of cold and warm influences. I enjoy hot tea and my merino wool blankets when inside at home in living room. On errands I often prefer being outside because I’m by nature a warm type person often called ‘radiator’ by my cousin. I’m happy after entering the very pleasant colder environment outside after getting too warm on errands being inside.
I love our climate in this town far North in Norway and our town is quite special for being so Arctic in location, I lived in other town in Finnmark and coastal climate with much stronger wind and more unpredictable weather. But the wonderful summer season sunshine moments were so welcome and I think living there made me more thankful for our environment and the Nature around always.
Thanks for reading my long post and I wish you well today ❤ ❤
English: the kind of weather we get in June, sunshine and some light clouds occationally. The temperature is just around 20° celsius, perfect for us Northern people used to either too warm like sometimes 30°C or just 10°C mostly.
norsk/Norwegian language: 20 grader og solskinn, et par små skyer på himmelen som en dagdrømmer er jeg da i det øyeblikket det fanger blikket mitt. Midnattssol ute på platten ved huset, bare leve i nærvær av naturen akkurat da og følelsen av dypere mening i livet.
