The climate of Norway is more temperate than could be expected for such high latitudes. This is mainly due to the North Atlantic Current with its extension, the Norwegian Current, raising the air temperature; the prevailing southwesterlies bringing mild air onshore; and the general southwest–northeast orientation of the coast, which allows the westerlies to penetrate into the Arctic. The January average in Brønnøysund is 14.6 °C (58.3 °F) warmer than the January average in Nome, Alaska, even though both towns are situated on the west coast of the continents at 65°N. In July, the difference is reduced to 2.9 °C (5.2 °F). The January average of Yakutsk, in Siberia but slightly further south, is 42.3 °C (108.1 °F) colder than in Brønnøysund.

  • El clima de Noruega és oceànic de transició des de temperat fins a àrtic a través de la seva latitud a la costa i de tendència més continental a l'interior. La gran longitud del país, que abraça 13 graus de latitud (equivalent a la distància fins al Mediterrani des del sud del país), així com l'orografia abrupta faciliten la variació climàtica, amb diferències notables entre llocs propers.En general el clima és suau per la latitud en què es troba el país (equivalent a la d'Alaska, Groenlàndia o Sibèria), gràcies a l'efecte del Corrent del Golf, que hi porta aire càlid i humit des de l'Atlàntic.

  • Norges klimat präglas av nordatlantiska driften (den nordliga delen av golfströmmen) de stora höjdskillnaderna och landets långa utsträckning i nord-sydlig riktning. Norge ligger på samma breddgrad som Alaska, mellersta till norra Kanada, Grönland och Ryssland, men eftersom havstemperaturen utanför Norge ligger 5-10°C över motsvarande platser på samma breddgrader, och för att landet tar emot tempererad havsluft med västvindarna, ligger också lufttemperaturerna över motsvarande platser på samma breddgrader.
