After a few mild days, the air has become noticeably cooler in southern Norway, the Meteorological Institute reports on X/Twitter.

– In the high mountains, there was some precipitation in the form of snow last night.

Meteorologists say now is the time to consider winter tires if you plan to cross various upcoming passes.

This also applies to the north.

– In the coming days, northern Norway will receive cooler air masses from the northwest – and the temperature will drop. If you go to the mountains, there could be white precipitation on Wednesday and Thursday, meteorologists write.

On Tuesday night, a weather station in Oslo measured the mildest September night since 1968. A number of temperature records were also measured over the weekend, both in the south and the north from Norway.

Etne in Vestland measured 28.3 degrees, a new county record. Some stations have short 20-year measurement series, while others date back to the 1920s.

At the same time, the message from meteorologists was that the heat was going to be short-lived. On Wednesday, the temperature changed, and it can be cool especially at night.

Towards the end of the week, it should be more than 15 to 20 degrees during the day in several places in the country.

Sea temperatures are still good in several southern and eastern regions. In Aker Brygge, 19 degrees were measured in the water on Tuesday, while 17.1 degrees were measured in Bystranda in Kristiansand.

CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this topic, it was stated that the record heat in Oslo was measured on Monday night. The good thing is Tuesday night. The error was corrected at 09:33.
