The climate in Oslo is surprisingly mild for its latitude. Summer temperatures are around 20ºC (68ºF), while in winter it falls to just below freezing. Mid-winter is depressingly dark and gloomy, but there is always snow for skiing on the numerous ski trails close to the city. In contrast, Norwegians live mainly outdoors in the long summer days when the sun drops briefly below the horizon and it never gets truly dark. The summer temperatures are perfect for exploring the parks and hiking paths or relaxing on the beaches of the fjord.
