Here you can read the meteorologist's text forecast for the Norwegian coast.
In the text forecast, the meteorologists use their experience, competency and local knowledge to describe and summarize the weather for the different stretches of the coast. The forecasts for the coast are updated daily between 07:00 and 18:00 (Norwegian time).
It is not possible for a meteorologist to issue a forecast for every single location in Norway, for each hour, contrary to the way a computer can. However, the meteorologists can use their experience and knowledge to see what is especially challenging to forecast that day, and can give an overview for a larger area. Altogether, the different types of forecasts complement each other.
You can also view the subjective analysis chart, forecast chart, and satellite images, to get a better understanding of the weather developments.
