The climate of Stavanger (Norway)
Stavanger is located in the southwestern part of Norway. Many cosy
small streets with authentic white wooden houses can be found in this
beautiful old city. Several cultural activities and festivals are held
here. Besides shopping and enjoying the beautiful city Stavanger is
also situated in one of the most beautiful regions in Norway. The Lyse
Fjord is one of the most beautiful fjords in Norway and the beaches of
Stavanger are exceptionally beautiful. The fjord can be explored by
boat and on foot. Walking may be quite difficult here but the view at
the end from ‘the prekestolen, or pulpit rock’, which is a rock
hanging over the fjord, is very worthwhile. Stavanger has high
precipitation figures, especially during fall. Temperatures are quite
constant all year round. During the summer temperatures are about 18
degrees Celsius on average. During the winter temperatures below -1
degrees Celsius are uncommon. Because of its situation on the leeward
side and the influence of the sea there are hardly any extremes in
temperatures.

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:
