Here’s the next one
It’s December right now where I am. The sun won’t rise again until January and I have a great view of the Northern lights, but amazingly, the temperature is above freezing. Sure there’s a lot of snow on the ground but it could very well melt if given enough time. The water near this town never, ever freezes. The coldest time of year here is February but even then it only barely gets below freezing. Of course this mild winter comes at the cost of literally no summer. It rarely ever gets above 16C here. It also rains or snows every second day here although there is rarely any flooding since all the water just drains into the nearby fjords.
Very mild winter for a location with no sunrise in January, and rarely ever gets above 16C in summer...sounds like Røst in Lofoten islands, as other possible candidates, like Bodø or Svolvær, are often above 16C in summer.
These last two recorded temps above 16C half of the days of last July and Bodø airport also recorded new all-time high with 30.7C in the «heatwave» last days of the month.
Røst on the other hand didn’t even get up to 20C.
So is it Røst?
Svolvær is correct. I would’ve counted anywhere in Lofoten. Rarely just means only a few times a year, not a few times a decade.
Ok, although above 16C isn’t that uncommon in Svolvær located on the larger Lofoten islands, about 30 days so far this year.
Røst has 6 days.
