Norwegians and tourists in Southern Norway are sweating through what one meteorologist called ‘absolutely abnormal’ temperatures this week. Thermometers hit between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius on Wednesday afternoon, and that level of heat is particularly uncomfortable in a country where most homes and many businesses lack air conditioning. According to Norwegian weather site Yr.no, several cities and towns in Southern Norway recorded higher temperatures than popular Mediterranean destinations. The unusual weather has prompted warnings from health authorities, who advise staying hydrated and avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours.
