Climate Chart: Bergen (Norway)

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in January, at 1.2 °C; the warmest occurs in July, at 14.7 °C. These are monthly averages rather than daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad temperature profile rather than the range visitors may encounter within a day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 7.6 °C. It provides a compact summary of the supplied monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual average or a forecast for a particular visit.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in October, at 9.81 mm/day, and lowest in April, at 3.30 mm/day. The lower monthly mean may suit visitors prioritising less average rainfall, but it does not guarantee dry days or indicate how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 6.14 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly totals, so they are best used as a broad planning guide rather than a measure of rain on any specific day.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest level in June, at 11.28 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 0.95 hours/day. The higher sunshine average can help visitors prioritise outdoor sightseeing, while the figures describe sunshine duration—not daylight length—and do not promise clear skies on a given day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine averages is 6.33 hours/day per day. This is a summary of the month-by-month figures, not a guarantee of the sunshine available during an individual visit.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in February, at 17.61 mm/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly snowfall averages is 5.21 mm/day per day; these measurements do not establish how many days have snow, snow depth or snow cover, and cannot indicate skiing conditions.

Best Travel Time Guide for Bergen, Norway: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, April is the conditional option in the data, with mean daily rainfall of 3.30 mm/day. That average cannot guarantee dry weather or quantify rain frequency, so pack for changing conditions; October has the highest mean daily rainfall, at 9.81 mm/day, making rain preparation especially relevant when planning around that month. If cooler monthly average temperatures are a priority, January has the lowest monthly mean, 1.2 °C. This is not a daytime high or a description of every day's conditions, so use it as a broad guide rather than a precise clothing forecast.

For outdoor plans that prioritise average sunshine duration, June has the highest mean daily sunshine, 11.28 hours/day; December has the lowest, 0.95 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length and does not ensure clear skies, so keep plans flexible. The snowfall mean is highest in February, at 17.61 mm/day, but that average does not show snow-day frequency, depth or cover and is not a guide to skiing conditions.
