Which part of Norway? Weather varies enormously between different parts of the country. Even at similar latitudes, the west coast tends to have a significantly different climate from the eastern regions.

 

But in general, the weather is hugely variable. In Oslo in August, be prepared for 10°C and raining or 25°C and hot sunshine. You never know. It varies from year to year and from one day to the next. Saturday we had 25°C and were enjoying a swim in the cold water; Sunday it dropped to around 16°. But it’s as good a time as any. Along with June and July, it’s one of the warmer months. Rainfall is high, but it’s high most of the summer. Norwegian schools resume in mid-August, so most people have returned from July holidays, so the cities are a bit more normal compared to July when they’re mostly just tourists and some infrastructure shuts down for summer maintenance. Also, August gets darker, which can make it easier to sleep if you’re not used to extremely long days.
