Local mountain areas have more extreme temperature variations, and in the northern mountainous areas of the arctic climate. The best and brightest season in the country - from May to September, the worst season - from November to March, during which time the average temperature drops below zero. The period of the summer solstice, when the sun does not go beyond the horizon, lasts from 13 May to 29 July in the North Cape in the north, and from 28 May to 14 July on the Lofoten Islands. Even in southern Norway in this period of daylight lasts from 4 am to 11 pm. On the other hand, in the north polar night lasts from November to late January, which is also good if you are fond of spending time in bed or have a "vampire" properties.
