How many months does winter last in Norway?

6 months. Winter in Norway lasts for 6 months, with temperatures as low as -40 degrees and rarely seeing the sun.

In winter in southern Norway, the light doesn’t start until around 9 a.m., and it gets dark at 3 p.m., leaving only five or six hours of daylight. Moreover, there are many rainy days in winter, so whenever the sun shines, Norwegians will gather friends and team up to bask in the sun.

In northern Norway, you can’t even see the sun. It’s dark outside all day long, which is very depressing. Therefore, Norwegians are very keen on parties, chatting with family and friends, and surviving the winter together.

Cold.

The average winter temperature in Norway is minus 6 degrees Celsius, and the coldest can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius. It's so cold outside that it's inconvenient to go out, so Norwegians spend 90% of their time at home. This also makes them cherish their homes very much, and the whole family often goes out to repair the house together.

In the long winter that lasts for six months, Norwegians have two magic weapons to deal with the cold winter.

Heat.

In the past, the insulation of the house was not good, and it was very cold even if you stayed at home. Norwegians would cook the stove and drink strong wine to cope with the winter. This habit has been retained to this day and has become an important part of family life. Many people even believe that without a stove, there would be no home.
