Weather in Orland

Planning a trip to Orland? In this section, you will find the current weather forecast and detailed charts to help you prepare for your journey.

The climate of Orland can be described as moderate maritime, heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Due to this, there are no extreme temperature fluctuations here: winters are surprisingly mild for these latitudes, and summers are fresh and cool. The proximity to the sea moderates the climatic conditions, so severe frost or the scorching heat often experienced in the Gulf region is a rarity here.

The warmest time of the year is the period from June to August, when the average temperature hovers around +12...+14°C. This is a comfortable time for excursions and walks, although one should not expect "beach" heat. In winter, the thermometer fluctuates around zero, rarely dropping below -1°C, making the cold season quite gentle compared to the continental regions of Norway.

An important feature of the local weather is high humidity and frequent precipitation throughout the year. A consistently high number of rainy days (from 14 to 22 per month) is observed in both winter and summer, with a peak in humidity during the autumn period, especially in October. When planning your trip, be sure to bring high-quality waterproof clothing and footwear, as clear skies can quickly change to rain in any season.

Thanks to its coastal location, the climate in this region is distinguished by its mildness. Orland rarely faces severe frosts: even in the coldest months, January and February, the average air temperature holds at a level of +0.5°C — +0.6°C. Winter here is cool rather than icy, which allows for spending time outdoors comfortably, provided you have the appropriate attire.

The summer season delights with pleasant freshness without exhausting heat. The peak warmth occurs in July and August, when average figures are around +13.8°C, and daily maximums reach +15.5°C. Such conditions create an ideal atmosphere for active tourism and long walks, eliminating the risk of overheating.

A characteristic feature of the local temperature regime is its stability. The differences between day and night values are insignificant: while they are minimal in winter, in the spring-summer period the difference is up to 4°C. This means that nights here remain relatively warm compared to the daytime, and tourists are not threatened by a sharp drop in temperature after sunset.

When travelling to Orland, travellers should consider that the weather in this region of Norway is quite changeable. Precipitation falls here regularly throughout the year, so waterproof clothing and comfortable shoes will become your best companions. The nature of the precipitation is usually moderate: prolonged downpours are rare; brief rains or light drizzle prevail more often.

Autumn is considered the wettest and gloomiest period. The peak of inclement weather falls in October, which is the rainiest month of the year: precipitation can be observed up to 22 days a month. With the arrival of winter, when the temperature hovers around zero (from December to March), rain often changes to wet snow or snowfall, creating a typical northern atmosphere.

If you prefer drier weather, it is better to choose spring or early summer for your trip. April, May, and June are statistically the "driest" months with minimal precipitation. At this time, the number of rainy days decreases to 14–15, which increases the chances of clear skies and comfortable walks through the picturesque surroundings.

When packing for Orland, it is important to remember the capricious maritime climate of this region. The weather here is changeable, so the main principle when choosing clothes should be layering. Even in the summer months, when the air warms up on average to only +14°C, a fresh wind often blows from the sea. A traveller's basic kit should include thermal underwear, a warm fleece jumper, and, necessarily, a high-quality windproof jacket.

Since precipitation in this part of Norway is a frequent occurrence year-round (up to 22 rainy days a month in autumn), pay special attention to protection from moisture. A standard umbrella may not withstand local wind gusts, so a reliable raincoat or a membrane jacket with a hood will become your best friends. For long walks, choose comfortable waterproof footwear, such as trekking boots, which will ensure comfort and warmth.

In winter and the off-season, when the temperature fluctuates around zero, be sure to bring a hat, a scarf, and gloves to protect yourself from high humidity and cold. In summer, despite the general coolness, you may need sunglasses and sunscreen, as the sun on clear days can be quite active. A small backpack will help you conveniently carry extra layers of clothing to quickly adapt to any weather surprises.
