By Dag Kjørholt

The rains were Sunday on the way to Vestlandet, Trøndelag, Nordland and Troms, while the eastern region of the country was a little later

– We are not sure of the amount rain falling. but we expect a crowd of Eastafjells slightly different from the one we are used to for a while, says meteorologist Espen Biseth Granan at the NTB Meteorological Institute on Sunday night.

He does not think that there will be enough rain for it will mean a lot for farmers' crops or forest fires. Especially south of Mjøsa, there is a danger of lightning in the dry and dry forest.

– We are already on Tuesday with the norm with a dry and hot summer weather. What happens on Monday is drying up fast, says Granan.

This year, by the way, the first tropical night was measured as early as May 31, specifically at Lindesnes Fyr and Eigerøy outside Egersund. The term is defined as a night when the minimum measured temperature does not drop below 20 degrees

World record in Oman

It is not only here that the heat has been abnormally high these time. The heating plugs were hit in many parts of the world last week.

In the fishing village of Quriyat in Oman, the temperature was measured at 42.6 degrees over two consecutive days. Such nighttime temperatures have never been recorded anywhere in the world, NRK writes. Part of the explanation is that the sea outside Oman often has temperatures around 30 degrees.

The capital cities of Tbilisi in Georgia and Yerevan in Armenia had 40.5 and 42 degrees respectively last week. Belfast in Northern Ireland recorded a record 29.5 degrees at the end of June.

British meteorologists recorded the hottest June ever recorded in Wales. Last weekend, the temperature rose to 33 degrees in the coastal town of Porthmadog.

The Washington Post writes that in Denver Colorado was recorded 40.6 degrees on June 28th.

It's hot so many places at the same time, with the good weather in Norway, says the state meteorologist John Smits at the Meteorological Institute.

– I Europe has winds blowing from the south and brings warm air from North Africa and the southern Mediterranean. The air is driven to the British Isles and large parts of Scandinavia. It is a cooler area to the east of Europe, but rather powerful southern air currents that bring warm air, through example, in the Caucasus, says Smits.
