The climate of Kristiansand (Norway)
Kristiansand is located on the østergapet in the southernmost part of
Norway. The city is an old naval port and was founded during late
medieval times. The old port has been well preserved and offers a
beautiful décor during a walk. You can also take a city train to
explore the city. This train takes you through the center of the city
along all important places of interest. Many museums and galleries can
be visited in Kristianstad. Just outside the city a large zoo and an
amusement park can be found. Because of its location in the southern
part of the country temperatures are higher here than in other parts
of Norway. However, Kristianstad does get much precipitation. Winters
are fairly mild. Because of the influence of the warm Atlantic Gulf
Stream extremely low temperatures are uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
