Clothing
- Norway has a mild summer climate. In Oslo, the average temperatures range from 11C to 22C (50F to 70F) during the summer. You can expect rainy days, cool nights and warm afternoons.
- We recommend that you bring a warm sweater, a windbreaker, an umbrella, sturdy shoes for hiking and long walks, in addition to regular summer clothing. A party dress or a suit for formal events is needed.
Electronics
- The electrical current in Norway is 230V at 50Hz with a typical two-pin European plug. Electronics with a C, E or F type of plug ("Schuko") will also work here.
- Appliances made for 220 - 240V will function here. Most electronics from Europe, Africa and Asia will function with just an adapter.
Electronics made for North and South America and the Caribbean
- If you bring electronics made for North and South America and the Caribbean, check to see if the product has a built-in converter or you will need a transformer. Transformers in Norway are expensive and, if needed, we recommend that you purchase one before you depart.
- Carefully read the specifications on the electronics and appliances, for example your laptop or hair dryer, that you plan to bring with you. Some modern electronics have power supplies that can convert the different electrical currents.
