Climate: Although Thanks to
the warming effects of the Gulf Stream, Norway has a very mild
climate compared to other countries at a similar latitude. The
climate in Norway differs from that of the rest of Scandinavia, the
tall mountain ranges dividing mainland Norway provide protection
from precipitation to large areas of inland eastern Norway. Some of
the areas east of the mountains have an annual rainfall of less than
300 mm. Most of the precipitation from the sea falls along the west
coast of Norway, with some areas recording a maximum rainfall of
3000 mm annually. The largest amounts of precipitation are found
some miles from the coast of Western Norway. In these areas most of
the precipitation is received during autumn and winter. Showery
precipitation occurs most frequently in the inner districts of
Eastern Norway and Finnmark. Here summer is the wettest part of the
year, and winter and spring the driest.
The coldest months of the year are January and February. The
interior highlands have an Arctic type of climate in winter with
snow, strong winds and severe frosts, but during summer sometimes
the daytime temperatures can rise above 30°C with long hours of
sunshine. The warmest time in the inland areas is mid-July, July and
August sometimes reach as high as 25°C - 30°C. Norway is the land of
the midnight sun in the North Cape area, with 24-hr daylight from
the middle of May to the end of July, during which the sun does not
set. Conversely, there are long winter nights from the end of
November to the end of January, during which the sun does not rise
above the horizon and the northern lights, or aurora borealis, can
be seen.
The best period in order to visit Norway is from May to September.
Late spring is a particularly pleasant time with mild weather and
long daylight hours.

Norway Cup, An International Youth
Soccer Tournament
Norway Cup, the international youth
soccer tournament was started in 1972 in Oslo, Norway and is
arranged every year around week 30 (1st week in August.) It has
contestants from many countries in the age groups between 12 and 19,
both girls and boys. Generally, around 25,000+ people participate
each year, with participants ranging from Taiwan and China in the
east to the US and Brazil in the west.
Who can play in Norway cup?
The tournament is played as an 11 person game or as a 7 person game
in different classes. Each team is split into classes e.g. up to 13
years old, up to 16 years etc. with 4 teams in each group. They play
the other teams in their group once, and collect points in the same
manner as normal international soccer rules (with some exceptions).
The 2 best teams in each group qualify for a cup competition,
wherein the winner and the 4 best teams win medals and the cups.
Normally each team has to play one game per day until they're
knocked out, and after that it depends on how many games they have
left to play.
There are lots of activities in Oslo during this part of the year,
and the participants who are mostly teenagers, enjoy themselves very
much just by being together, and finding new friends etc. Activities
include top soccer matches, and disco evenings with popular bands.
