Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest at 2.8 °C in January, and reaches its highest monthly mean of 15.2 °C in August. These figures describe average temperatures across each month, not daytime highs; individual days can therefore differ from the monthly mean. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 8.6 °C, which offers a compact overview without weighting months by their number of days.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest at 2.34 mm/day in April, making that month the option to consider if lower average rainfall is a priority. The highest monthly mean is 6.83 mm/day in October, a useful signal to prepare for wetter average conditions then. These are daily mean amounts, not monthly totals, and they do not indicate how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet days. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 4.79 mm/day.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest level at 12.04 hours/day in June, while the lowest monthly mean is 1.41 hours/day in December. These endpoints can help with planning for outdoor time, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not promise sunshine on a particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine means is 6.98 hours/day.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is 6.12 mm/day in January, and the unweighted mean across monthly means is 1.95 mm/day. These snowfall averages describe daily amounts, not the number of snowy days, snow depth or snow cover, so they cannot establish conditions for skiing or other snow-dependent activities.

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

If lower average rainfall is your priority, April is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 2.34 mm/day; this does not guarantee rain-free days or show how frequently rain occurs. For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January has the lowest monthly mean temperature at 2.8 °C. These are separate criteria rather than a single best-time ranking, and the temperature figure is not a daytime high. For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest at 12.04 hours/day in June and lowest at 1.41 hours/day in December; sunshine duration does not measure day length or guarantee clear weather. Prepare for rain with the higher average in mind: mean daily rainfall reaches 6.83 mm/day in October. Snowfall averages, including the highest monthly mean daily amount of 6.12 mm/day in January, cannot tell you how many snowy days or how much snow cover to expect, so check conditions closer to travel.
