rather more than 39 inches at Tromsø, and 26 inches at Gjesvær.
The whole of Finmarken has a small rainfall, viz. from 20 to 24
inches on the coast, from 12 to 16 inches up the fjords and on
the inland plateau. Trondhjem and the most northerly coast
district have the greatest number of wet days in the year — more
than 200; and the stations in the fjords of Finmarken have the
fewest — about 100. Most rain falls in the summer and part of
the autumn (in Lofoten, however, in the winter), least in April
and May. August and September have the greatest number of
wet days, the fewest are in the summer and spring, except in
the interior of Finmarken, where there are fewest in the winter.
Snow falls on more than half the annual total number of
wet days over the whole of Finmarken, and as far south as Lofoten.
South of that, the relative number of snowy days is smaller.
On the Trondhjem Fjord, snow does not even fall upon a third
part, of the total number of wet days.
Hail has been observed on an average as many as 20 times
in the year in the southernmost districts, but occurs much less
frequently in Finmarken, in some places scarcely once a year.
Fog makes its appearance, on an average, from 10 to 20 days
in the year, most frequently in the summer and autumn.
Frost-fog [[** sjk bindestrek]] occurs at the heads of the fjords.
Thunder-storms are very seldom experienced on the coast,
only sometimes in winter. In the interior of Finmarken, and about the
Trondhjem Fjord, there are, on an average, 4 or 5 thunder-storms
in the course of the summer. In Trondhjem itself, there has been
thunder in all the months of the year except April.
