in the winter, shortest in the summer, i.e. in winter, the rain or
snow falls, even if there is only a little of it, more evenly
distributed over longer periods at one time, while in summer it falls
in shorter, heavier showers.
Snow occurs so frequently at the higher stations, that the
number of days on which snow falls amounts to more than half
the total number of wet days. Snow falls least frequently on the
south coast; Færder has 27 snowy days out of 107 wet days,
Mandal 25 out of 116.
Hail has been observed at all the stations, but rarely,
averaging from 4 times in the year to once in the course of 8 or 10
years. Destructive hail-stones very seldom occur in Norway.
Fog appears often in the winter in the form of frost fog in
the Kristiania Fjord, and at a few inland stations situated on
lakes or large rivers. The average total number of foggy days in
the year is highest in Larvik — 71 —, and in Kristiania — 54 —,
lowest at Jerkin — 4 —.
Thunder-storms occur almost exclusively in the summer
months, and not often then. The country round Kristiania and
Lake Mjøsen are the parts most frequently visited by storms — on
an average, respectively 10 and 8 days with thunder during the
year —, and the high-lying stations least frequently — on an average
2 or 3.
