If you're coming to Wales in the summer (please do, you would LOVE it) , you'd probably pack similar things to Norway but more like 80/20 in favour of shorts and t-shirts. Also for Ronald, swimming stuff in case Mads wants to bully you into swimming when it's too cold. ;) An ordinary umbrella will do and comfortable shoes because some of the best beaches can't be reached by car. If you run out of t-shirts while you're there, buy one that says on the front "I support only two teams: Wales and whoever plays against England". In fact buy one anyway because there IS no better souvenir. ;))))
So, for a summer in Norway I just pack my Mexico City winter clothes and my raincoat, and for a winter in Norway I just pack myself home at first chance, great advice, Thank you
If you come to southwestern Pennsylvania in the summer bring shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. It gets hot and muggy here. Also bring a light jacket, jeans, tennis shoes, long sleeved cotton shirts and a hoody or sweater because you never know when the temperature will plummet. We can have summer, spring and fall all in one week during June, July and August. In the late spring this year we had winter (snow included), fall, summer and spring (in that order) in an 8 day period. Despite our weird weather I love it here. Our foliage is lush even in the city, our air is moist and we have hills and mountains galore. We don't get many pure sunny days so when the sun shines clear and bright we appreciate it. However, visiting Norway is now on my bucket list.
I am in the UK, if you are packing to come here, bring Gore-tex walking shoes and walking sandals (you're going to be doing a lot of sightseeing), cotton socks, lightweight trousers, thin layers that you can pile on or off as needed ranging from T-shirts to fleece jumpers, and a rain coat. You can buy a brolly here if you like, but probably a rain proof hat would do you better. Basically, bring stuff for all weathers, but you almost certainly won't need shorts and definitely no swimsuit unless your accommodation has an indoor pool! This advice will apply for May-August. From September-April, same applies, but bring some heavier layers as well and a winter coat.
I live near San Francisco, and tourists think because it is in California that it will be warm in Summer. Because of the Bay, and it being by the ocean, it can get very cold even in August. You see miserable travelers in shorts, shivering and buying sweatshirts at gift shops so they don't freeze. Obviously, freezing is relative, but the average temperature in Summer is 67* F (19* C). The quote is "The coldest Winter I ever spent was a Summer in San Francisco". It's not bad, but it's not Southern California, so a lightweight jacket, or sweatshirt and windbreaker to layer is a good idea. Now outside of The City it can get hot. The beaches in Northern California can be cold in Summer as well, but they might not be. I always take a jacket to San Francisco and the beach. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it.
I spent some time in Norge in the sixties. 1964, late July early August. We hung out on the square by the fjord in Oslo in beautiful warm weather. The sky and water were blue and the atmosphere was almost Meditterranean. And by 4PM on Friday afternoon the town closed down for the weekend so people could celebrate summer. Smart society. A few years later we experienced the rain of Bergen and freezing damp in Trondheim, but again, much nicer weather in the South East. Lovely country and so much friendlier than Sweden.
Hehe, most Norwegian will love you when they read the latter part of your story! :) You seem to have experienced all of our typical summer weather. Thanks a lot for sharing and engaging leneke
I live in the redwoods in California, right on the coast. You'll be REALLY lucky if it's above 22 C here. Tourists come wearing shorts and tank tops and are miserable. Wear a tank top under a tshirt under a long sleeve shirt. Bring your light jacket too for the nights. Wear an extra layer when you go to the beach, because it's cold and windy right by the water. The redwood forest is always cool even when it's hot in the sun, so layering is essential. Wear shoes in the forest, because the poison oak goes right up to the edge of the trails!
I'm Greek. Right now it's 10:30 in the evening and it's 30 degrees Celsius, and it's not even that hot. Bring a lot of pairs of shorts, T-shirts, and swimming trunks. :)
Its that cold in Norway during the summer?!! I'm glad I listened in here, because I can only imagine shivering in the cold summer or rainy summer with only my t-shirt and my shorts! If you come here Ronald and Mads, if you stay only on the coastal plains where the beaches are, t-shirt, shorts and flipflops are o.k. If you want to come up to the central plateau during the wet summer, be sure to bring 1. an umbrella, 2.light blanket for sleep at nite and 3. a light wool or cotton sweater, with no Sun poking through the sky down at us and only clouds, it gets a bit chilly. ;)
I'm coming to Norway in less than a month. I've bought tickets so that we're sailing from Finland to Sweden on 17th July and we will drive to Norway maybe next day.
Welcome to Norway. Best beer is Aass, Lundetungen, EC Dahls and Mack. Best hot dog is Leif Vidar - look for the signs at service stations. Have a safe trip and remember the further north you go the more real Norway becomes.
If you come to Charleston, South Carolina USA in the summer (and I hope you visit !) all you need are a bathing suit, a few pairs of shorts, a few casual shirts, and some flip flops! You could easily live out of a carry-on suitcase.
Hawaii - bring swim trunks, wrap-around sports type sun glasses (Maui Jim), light colored hat with wide brim, rash guard (for swimming. most people forget this but it will save your skin if you go into the water a lot), sun block SPF 35+, swim fins, mask & snorkel (you can rent/buy those here), water shoes (for getting in and out of rocky places), loose-fitting, light colored, long-sleeved linen shirt, cotton or linen shorts, light weight & color, airy pants in linen or open-weave cotton. flip-flops. A sweater and mid weight pants for the evenings in case it does cool down a bit. Make sure you book a place with Air conditioning! Love your delivery and content. :-)
If you visit Oregon, bring empty suitcases. We do not have a sales tax in Oregon, so visitors from areas that have high taxes find the prices for apparel and shoes to be very attractive here. Come with just what you are wearing on the plane, and fill up a full wardrobe here and take it all back home. I know a couple from Austria that does this each time they visit.
*Norway's opposite, is Arizona* You don't wanna be there in Summer, but Winters are perfect. Although, that's just in the Deserts. I live at 7000' (2134 m) elevation, and have seen it snow in June.
Absolutely. I live here and I don't want to be here in the summer. At least you don't have to shovel heat, and the rest of the year is paradise. It makes it worth it. And we don't have hurricanes... Floridians... lol
People forget Arizona has 9000' (2743 m) mountains that jut up from the desert landscape. They call them "sky islands." One of them has a ski resort just 45 minutes from Tucson.
Hey Ronald! I'm back! Sorry for the slow slow reply but anyways nice video as always! About my trip in Bergen it has been incredible! All of the days were sunny anf beautiful. We explored the city, ate plukkfisk and bought lots and lots of stuff! Including a traditional sweater ;). I did buy an umbrella in Bergen btw, absolute beast umbrella. I went trekking on Fløyen and explore the trek routes. I took some stunning pictures on the road and on my birthday I took a boat trip around the city. There was fog till the half of the trip and then it retreated leaving a superb view. The boat captain was stunned. And yeah to all the people going to Norway take sunglasses! You'll need them!
I live in AZ... be sure to pack your sunglasses and a hat and if you plan on going outside in the summer (not recommended unless you get up VERY early) it's best to wear a thin long sleeved shirt to keep the sun off as much of your skin as possible. We have great hiking here so good heavy boots, not those hiking sandals you see, the cactus thorns go right through them .. ouch!
"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". Brings layers, sweater and light jacket. NO shorts. You will be marked as a tourist for sure. Of course if you drive east into the central valley...HOT!
Yep! I have visited San Francisco, and it can be cold on the Bay, warm or even hot in the city. Dress in layers, good walking shoes, ride the tour bus or cable car. "Peace. Love. Recycle."
"Wind jacket"-- we call them windbreakers. And our common saying is, "if you don't like the weather here, stick around. It will change!" In may, we have had 75° F balmy weather, a tornado, and snow all within 1 day!
Come and visit Hawaii in the summer! You will not need any coat, sweater, windbreaker, raincoat or woollen clothing. It will be hot and humid every day - 30 - 35 C - but it may rain occasionally. Bring shorts, jeans, tshirts or polo shirts and sneakers. Love you guys!! I have heard about the rain in Bergen before 😂
Bring a rashguard big sun hats, and sun protective clothing especially if you are white. Otherwise, you will be painfully red in 15 minutes, lol. Otherwise, the only time you need a sweater or jacket is if you are from here and freeze in January when the temperature dips into the low 70's (21C).
Another fantastic, informative video. You guys are the best! Thank you for teaching us about Norway. You've made me add visiting your beautiful country to my bucket-list. All the best to you both.
The uptight penguin, hahaha. I love your snake skin suitcase! At 4:40 we call that long underwear, or thermal underwear. I prefer soCal where it's pretty much perfect weather year round. 77F (25C) is all the degrees anyone needs. To us 67F (19C) is cold and 87F (30C) is hot. If I have to wear a jacket at Disneyland in the evening, that's cold. Snow is something we drive to the mountains to visit and then we drive back home to the beach. Snow is for playing in, not living in! :D
In St. Louis, bring shorts, t-shirts, comfortable running shoes and a towel so you can wipe away the sweat. You will be drinking lots of cold water. It is HOT and HUMID here in the summer. I stay inside with the air conditioning, lol.
Loved the clothes you had! Thanks for the tip, so close to the Arctic Circle, really cool! Need Summer & beach wear almost 365 days a year here in Hawaii 🌴🌞🌺🌎
It was 41 degrees Celsius the other day here in Texas. Bring as little to wear as possible during the summer. Grab an inner tube(water floating device), a chest of ice cold beer, some drinking water, and find the nearest body of water to live out the rest of your 🥵 stay in. 😁
In Stornoway, pack as you would for Bergen. In London, jeans, sneakers, shorts, t-shirts, and something light and waterproof. Great video. Very useful.
You can pack the lightest if you're visiting here. No need jacket, heavy shoes, windbreaker or anything wool. Just shorts, bermudas, tshirt and sandals. Sunglasses is a must.
Hello gents! Just another great informative video with a slash of funny!!😃😂😁your suitcase in the park was like maybe like a "traveling salesman" selling the latest a greatest cooking pans!!! Cool ❄❄❄were those powder baby blue "sneaks"??!! Hey now So, much great style!!! Here in mo...in january you may have a day where you can go coatless even shorts or a january the next day your dressing for the "polar vortex"!! One day in particular....we had rain and thunder showers in the morning...sunny in the afternoon..early evening rain freezing on surfaces....and 5 inches of snow by morning!!! By noon next day its melting...everyone dresses in some interesting outfits!! Flip flops or boots!! They always say here wait you will see weather change in a flash!! Guaranteed you will be in the summer here... sweating in places that you don't Want too....!!!the other day the air was like a soggy sponge!!! 🌪🌩🌨⛈🌬🌞🌝☀️💙💚💚
If you come to Arizona in the summer. You will need sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Shorts and t shirts are recommended. Jeans work too. Boots are essential to hike in the mountains as well as jeans. Bring swimming trunks and tennis shoes as well.
I love your channel! I live in North Mississippi, USA. Normally in July and August it's 36 or 37 degrees celsius, with around 60% humidity. So the heat index is around 39 degrees celsius. We usually just dash from the air conditioned car to the air conditioned buildings. At night and early morning, it is very nice. Shorts, tank tops, and sandels are the preferred dress. Jeans and cool short-sleeved or sleeveless tops are good.
Thanks for the temperatures in Celsius, I know it doesn't come natural to Americans but you have been very considerate since you were addressing an European TH-camr. This European commenter also appreciates it. Thumbs up 👍
In the western half it is hot and dry, typically 80-100F. So lighter weight clothes are good - tshirt & shorts. (Your shorts are swimming trunks in the US) Sandals or sneakers for your feet. Like Norway, people on vacation are casual. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a must. Along the Pacific coast it can get chilly so a fleece jacket can be good and maybe longer jeans. For the eastern half, the Mississippi River to the east coast, it is hot and sticky humid. Plan to go everywhere in air conditioning. Your sensitive Norwegian bodies will melt in the heat and humidity. Make plans to never be very far from air conditioning. The humidity also means sudden thundershowers. It dumps rain from the sky for 15-30 minutes and then it is hot and humid again. An umbrella or rain coat won't help. Just plan to change into dry clothes. One last warning-in the middle of the country with the thunderstorms you can have tornados. Otherwise, America is a wonderful place to visit.
You can leave everything when coming to India. Just t-shirts and shorts will be fine. India has four seasons but looking at Norway weather I think you can consider all seasons to be a variety of summer - Hot, Rain, humid and hot, mild hot.
Greetings from Baja! In here the summer starts in May and ends in October! We usually are between 45-50 degrees the city (Mexicali) record its 51 at night!!!
If you come to Chicago, Illinois a mixture of sweaters, jeans, shorts, tee shirts, light rain coat with a hood, umbrella, and walking shoes. Also a swimsuit so you can hang out at either Oak Street beach or North Avenue beach. You can see Chicago's very impressive skyline and if here in August can see the Air and Water Show from the both beaches.
For the USA from Europe.... pack light as clothes are a bargain here. Nice looking slip on sneakers, decent pair of day to night jeans, sleeping joggers, 4 or so weather appropriate tops and a jacket... about all one needs. Leave room in your bag for shopping.
bring exactly the same things if you come to New Zealand in summer. It can be boiling hot one minute, and freezing and seriously windy the next. It usually floods in the coromandel peninsular around christmas/new year too... and thats where a lot of people go to camp grounds for holidays! Our summer is from december.
Hei Ronald og Mads. Ha! You are giving correct advice but as you said, so many people think that all of Norway is covered in snow all year round! This vid is great, I don't know how you get your ideas and inspiration but I am glad that you do. Wool all the way for me it cannot be beaten. Ha! an umbrella from Bergen- well it certainly rains there, similar to my part of the U.K. so if you visit me bring an umbrella each. We have had some extraordinarily high temperatures and I know that you have had also. I hate strong sun- autumn is my favourite season, both in U.K and in Norway. This is yet another great vid, love to hear Mads off camera! Tusen takk. Johnny. Northwest England. U.K.
This video came a bit late for my trip to Oslo 😣... But I did reasonably well my packing anyway. No pinguin 🐧 outfit 😆. Except I got a serious storm one day and my umbrella☔ couldn't cope. It didn't occur to me to buy a Norwegian one. But I'm not a big fan of umbrellas anyway, hence the cheapo lightweight one I brought with me. I bought wool though, two nice, heavy Norwegian sweaters against which the Italian winter will have no chance, I'm sure. So, tips for the Italian summer: Light clothing, sunscreen and sunglasses, as for every other proper Syden location 😎, but this is the obvious bit. Something more specific: a foldable water bottle to keep in your pocket and fill up at water fountains, to avoid being overcharged by vendors in touristy places, long trousers if you plan to visit churches and the like (in many places men wearing shorts or women with skimpy clothes are not welcome). Oh and about shoes, flip flops are OK at the beach, but if you visit a city you will end up walking a lot more than you expect so the shoes you suggest in the video are also the perfect choice for Italy, comfy above all else. What else? Oh yes, in big crowded cities (Rome, Venice, Florence, etc.) keep your money in the front pocket of your trousers and only a small amount for the day. The rest either at the hotel or in a safety pouch under your clothes. But don't worry too much it is pretty safe nowadays (with some little precautions😉). Relax and eat a lot, best way to enjoy my country 👍
Your tip, we call them long johns in America. They are brilliant. Good things to know. Thank you. I dream of coming to Norway. My ancestors are from there. Have a great night...or day. Lol. 🌹
Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan is like Norway weather except usually the weather is warmer at times. We suggest a hoodie and jeans for the cooler weather and shorts and tee shirts (maybe a few sundresses for women) for the warmer weather. Sneakers are a very good choice and maybe a pair of sandals for the beach and of course a bathing suit and cover up. You should always bring a light rain jacket and an umbrella. Its just about the same. This year we have had the coldest end of spring to summer that I can remember. Rainy and cold for summer. Its been in the 50's, 60's and low 70's for months. That is 10's, 15's, 21's in Celsius. Now we are in the mid 70's or near 80 and humid. It has not been ideal beach weather. Here in Michigan we are surrounded by 4 of the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Lake Erie). Lots of beaches!!!! Now we just need a bit of nice weather.........
Forgot to comment on how good your national orchestra is. Grays. We have a nice one in Houston., expensive and most of the tickets are help by "patrons".
Coastal NC in the summer must haves: daytime- shorts, t shirts, swim suit; nighttime- jeans, t-shirts. At the beach you should have a windbreaker at night because when the sun goes down, the wind picks up and it can feel chilly next to the 95F days. Sunscreen, mosquito repellent, sunglasses and a sense of humor are necessities! When this video started and you were peeling off clothes, I was saying: take it off, take it all off!! Hahahaha...
I’ve visited the south of Norway (Oslofjord) in July every year for the last 19 years - it is usually pretty warm! 25-30 degrees C, I typically wear shorts and short sleeves or long sleeves, though it can get fairly windy. About three years ago however, it was very nearly freezing - in the middle of July!
First July week in Norway and temperature drop to 3 degree and snowing. Not in the North we didn’t overpass the Oslo Bergen line. All tourist could be easily recognized by the new colour jackets ! And rain of course not too much fortunately and expected. But so low temperatures were not expected. Oslo showed his better colours and sun anyway.
Great video, guys. What’s essential in the USA during Summer...to me, it’s open toed sandals or flip flops. It gets mighty hot and humid here. A comfortable pair of shorts and tee shirts. That’s pretty much it💖
I just returned from a week in Oslo, and it was fabulous. Your tips on packing, saving money, and exploring the city were very helpful! I stayed in Grunerløkka, and visited Sentrum, Frogner, the mountaintop views, Grønland (briefly), Sørengkaia, and Bygdøy. You’re right-Aker Brygge is a tourist hell to be avoided; it was the only part of the city I didn’t like. I think was a big fan of SKAM, especially season three, so I enjoyed finding as many Isak and Even spots as I could.
Well, if for some reason you decide to vacation in Oklahoma, USA (which why would you ever do that) in summer you will need the highest SPF sunblock possible because the sun will literally cook you, some extremely light clothing, lately we've had apocalyptic flooding so maybe a boat and sunglasses are a must. Don't worry about an umbrella because the winds are ridiculous and you will fly away like Mary freaking Poppins.
To add to this, make sure you buy bug spray. It may be so hot in July and especially August that you wish you could take your skin off, but the need for shorts and T's also means there is more for mosquitoes to go after. Do go to Oklahoma. Just not in the summer.
Im supposed to be watching videos about ireland since im going there soon but i ended up binge watching your videos.:-)I really like the personality u portray in your videos.Thanks for the endless laugh.A huge fan from Philippines
In East Tennessee today the temperature is 92F/33C with 93% relative humidity. The heat index calculates that to feel like 128F/53C. Bring swim gear and go to the nearest body of water! Love your videos!!😘
FYI buying umbrella in Bergen... They sell the cheapo small ones that fit in your purse (and won't survive Bergen rain) as well... So look for the sturdy ones with thick metal ribs. I'm from Bergen, so I own a "sydvest" and proper rain gear, and leave the umbrella at home when the wind wants to fight me....
Okay guys another great video. Fun & informative. Coming to Texas in summer. If you could get away with going naked??? It's illegal!!! You could get a bad burn on all those sensitive body parts too. Lots of swim suits & sunscreen. Summer hats, sunglasses, comfortable shoes. Nothing tight. Something to wear for dinner. Nice but casual. By the time dinner time comes around you will be ravenously hungry. Sandals, sneakers, & swimming shoes. Love you guys!!!
If you’re coming to Iran in summer bring light summer clothes, a stainless steel (water) canteen, sunglasses, sunscreen and sandals or sneakers. If you plan to go mountain climbing bring suitable boots wit you.
We have an umbrella we bought in Bergen and until it failed seven years later was known as the Bergen Brolly for alliterative purposes. I have never been to Bergen without it raining.
Here in Pittsburgh (where the Penguins stay inside and play hockey) I used to worry about not having thick-soled boots for winter. When I did have boots, they would tear apart my white athletic socks. Last year I switched and wore thick wool socks under athletic shoes. It's the best way -- the Norwegian way, apparently. My feet never felt better during the winter. Thank you for validating my decision.
If coming to California it can be anything. Here on the Central Coast it can go from freezing blowing foggy dampness to sunny and actually hot in the matter of hours as well. So dressing in layers here is a great idea and of course always have a t shirt underneath and sunglasses as well. No need for serious wool though in the summer.
We have learnt from yours and others comments that weather in California is not what we think: Baywatch sky every day. Awesome insights. Thanks for sharing and engaging 😀😀
Hi Guys, I found I definitely packed too much when I went to Norway in early summer. The hotel rooms were too warm for me, so I wished I hadn't have packed 3 pairs of winter pajamas! When you come to Australia in Summer always pack sunscreen and a hat, sunglasses and swim wear. It can get breezy in some places like where I live so bring a light cardigan/jacket, also for when the air-conditioners are turned up to freezing!!!
If you are coming to Australia. Do not pack a snake kit (many do and it is 100% useless) you will rarely see a snake. If you do not like flies pack fly repellant but you can buy it here to. Depending on the part of Australia you will probably not need wool. If going to Melbourne or Tasmania or the South of Australia pack similar to going to Norway in Summer. Otherwise no wool you will get too hot unless its the middle of winter then pack Nordic summer wool. You may need a thin rain jacket. For the North of Australia you can get away with just packing thongs (or slip slops) shorts and t-shirt :).
We have a lot of tourists that come to the Iowa State Fair every year in August. Why? I don't know. It is hot hot 🔥!! But this is Iowa and the weather can change in a minute so when you pack, make sure you bring sunglasses, a sun hat ( to keep the sun off your face) sunscreen, shorts, tank top, t-shirt, athletic shoes (cuz you're going to do a lot of walking) and just in case bring a sweatshirt and maybe some jeans and an umbrella. Because sometimes the weather changes and we get cold rainy weather during the fair. But the weather aside, the Iowa State Fair kicks ass!!
I love Mads reactions in the background 😅
Elise Me too! He’s such a good side kick! Love them both!
Me too, he makes me giggle.
Mads is hysterical!
I had to replay that part more than once.
@@delorbb2298 same 😂
If you're coming here to Deep South Texas in the Summer on purpose - bring your psychiatrist along, to explain why you've made this strange decision.
Hahahahahaha😁😁😁😁
Hunny, I’m from the cold mountains of NY...it can’t get hot enuff for me😂💗🔥
And if you go to Houston, don’t be scared of the giant flying cockroaches. They love the boiling tropical heat and they love being around people!
I Am A Googler Our cockroaches are jealous of the cockroaches way up north in Houston.
Denise Herud We have the best “heat advisories” here. I know some great parking lots you can walk across in the afternoons.
If you're coming to Wales in the summer (please do, you would LOVE it) , you'd probably pack similar things to Norway but more like 80/20 in favour of shorts and t-shirts. Also for Ronald, swimming stuff in case Mads wants to bully you into swimming when it's too cold. ;) An ordinary umbrella will do and comfortable shoes because some of the best beaches can't be reached by car. If you run out of t-shirts while you're there, buy one that says on the front "I support only two teams: Wales and whoever plays against England". In fact buy one anyway because there IS no better souvenir. ;))))
I will buy that t-shirt ✌ Thanks for sharing your story with us 😀
Wales has the best weather😃 swansea valley has its own weather😛
So, for a summer in Norway I just pack my Mexico City winter clothes and my raincoat, and for a winter in Norway I just pack myself home at first chance, great advice, Thank you
You just made my day 🤣
Pedro Arjona hahahahaha!🤣
To be honest, one acquitance of mine visit Norway some years ago (in the late summer early fall, it's cheaper) and find it lovely
If you come to southwestern Pennsylvania in the summer bring shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. It gets hot and muggy here. Also bring a light jacket, jeans, tennis shoes, long sleeved cotton shirts and a hoody or sweater because you never know when the temperature will plummet. We can have summer, spring and fall all in one week during June, July and August. In the late spring this year we had winter (snow included), fall, summer and spring (in that order) in an 8 day period. Despite our weird weather I love it here. Our foliage is lush even in the city, our air is moist and we have hills and mountains galore. We don't get many pure sunny days so when the sun shines clear and bright we appreciate it. However, visiting Norway is now on my bucket list.
You make me like Pennsylvania too Blanche 😻 Thanks for sharing your lovely story about life and weather there 👌
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY 💖
I’m in Oslo right now. Yes, sandals, shorts and a T-shirt are just fine for walking around.
Ronald, you are so funny. No matter what my mood is, you cheer me up!😁😁😁
Thanks for being cool Liz 😀
I am in the UK, if you are packing to come here, bring Gore-tex walking shoes and walking sandals (you're going to be doing a lot of sightseeing), cotton socks, lightweight trousers, thin layers that you can pile on or off as needed ranging from T-shirts to fleece jumpers, and a rain coat. You can buy a brolly here if you like, but probably a rain proof hat would do you better. Basically, bring stuff for all weathers, but you almost certainly won't need shorts and definitely no swimsuit unless your accommodation has an indoor pool! This advice will apply for May-August. From September-April, same applies, but bring some heavier layers as well and a winter coat.
Cutest way to say a penguin. Oh my days. 😂 Had to rewind.
If coming to the southern USA, mosquito repellent is a must!!
Thanks for sharing 👌
Gallons of mosquito repellent!!!!!😀
I forgot to add that to my comment. The mosquito's just love me. I discovered diluted tea tree oil stops the
itch immediately. FYI
I need my Ronald vids to help me through the day....he is too much! Well done mate, Cheers!
I live near San Francisco, and tourists think because it is in California that it will be warm in Summer. Because of the Bay, and it being by the ocean, it can get very cold even in August. You see miserable travelers in shorts, shivering and buying sweatshirts at gift shops so they don't freeze. Obviously, freezing is relative, but the average temperature in Summer is 67* F (19* C). The quote is "The coldest Winter I ever spent was a Summer in San Francisco". It's not bad, but it's not Southern California, so a lightweight jacket, or sweatshirt and windbreaker to layer is a good idea. Now outside of The City it can get hot. The beaches in Northern California can be cold in Summer as well, but they might not be. I always take a jacket to San Francisco and the beach. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it.
the best summer is in SF! I live in New Orleans. You are so lucky!
For me, 67* F is already pretty warm especially with wind less than 8mph. I prefer my summer weather in upper 50s to lower 60s. I also live in SF.
Madri Gal SF can be hot. I was sweating in September there.
I spent some time in Norge in the sixties. 1964, late July early August. We hung out on the square by the fjord in Oslo in beautiful warm weather. The sky and water were blue and the atmosphere was almost Meditterranean. And by 4PM on Friday afternoon the town closed down for the weekend so people could celebrate summer. Smart society. A few years later we experienced the rain of Bergen and freezing damp in Trondheim, but again, much nicer weather in the South East. Lovely country and so much friendlier than Sweden.
Hehe, most Norwegian will love you when they read the latter part of your story! :) You seem to have experienced all of our typical summer weather. Thanks a lot for sharing and engaging leneke
I live in the redwoods in California, right on the coast. You'll be REALLY lucky if it's above 22 C here. Tourists come wearing shorts and tank tops and are miserable. Wear a tank top under a tshirt under a long sleeve shirt. Bring your light jacket too for the nights. Wear an extra layer when you go to the beach, because it's cold and windy right by the water. The redwood forest is always cool even when it's hot in the sun, so layering is essential. Wear shoes in the forest, because the poison oak goes right up to the edge of the trails!
I'm Greek. Right now it's 10:30 in the evening and it's 30 degrees Celsius, and it's not even that hot. Bring a lot of pairs of shorts, T-shirts, and swimming trunks. :)
Almond Smith sounds just lovely! Sigh.
I like your videos so keep up the good work, and that is a fancy suitcase you have 😆
😂😂 it's not mine. I have a small, old black one. Not visual enough. Thanks 🍻
A lot like Minnesota. I see why my Norwegian ancestors moved to Minnesota. I’d be all set.
Its that cold in Norway during the summer?!! I'm glad I listened in here, because I can only imagine shivering in the cold summer or rainy summer with only my t-shirt and my shorts! If you come here Ronald and Mads, if you stay only on the coastal plains where the beaches are, t-shirt, shorts and flipflops are o.k. If you want to come up to the central plateau during the wet summer, be sure to bring 1. an umbrella, 2.light blanket for sleep at nite and 3. a light wool or cotton sweater, with no Sun poking through the sky down at us and only clouds, it gets a bit chilly. ;)
I'm coming to Norway in less than a month. I've bought tickets so that we're sailing from Finland to Sweden on 17th July and we will drive to Norway maybe next day.
WOW!
Welcome to Norway.
Best beer is Aass, Lundetungen, EC Dahls and Mack.
Best hot dog is Leif Vidar - look for the signs at service stations.
Have a safe trip and remember the further north you go the more real Norway becomes.
What an incredible teacher for someone with no knowledge of coming to Norway for visiting
If you’re visiting Chicago, a kevlar vest is highly recommended.
Ann Hutcheson In fact, don’t go to Chicago.
In northern canada the same gear would be quite suitable
Except there are still ravens flying around. Only bird I see flying around in the winters.
@@debralemaire3943 Don't forget the man-eating mosquitos and black flies. Old joke: the mosquitos are so big they have to file flight plans.
Bryce Brogan Hahaha!
But Chicago has the tightest gun laws in the country.....
It should be the safest place to visit in USA.....
Am I wrong ?
If you come to Charleston, South Carolina USA in the summer (and I hope you visit !) all you need are a bathing suit, a few pairs of shorts, a few casual shirts, and some flip flops! You could easily live out of a carry-on suitcase.
Hawaii - bring swim trunks, wrap-around sports type sun glasses (Maui Jim), light colored hat with wide brim, rash guard (for swimming. most people forget this but it will save your skin if you go into the water a lot), sun block SPF 35+, swim fins, mask & snorkel (you can rent/buy those here), water shoes (for getting in and out of rocky places), loose-fitting, light colored, long-sleeved linen shirt, cotton or linen shorts, light weight & color, airy pants in linen or open-weave cotton. flip-flops. A sweater and mid weight pants for the evenings in case it does cool down a bit. Make sure you book a place with Air conditioning! Love your delivery and content. :-)
Thanks a lot 👌 Hawaii, here we ✈😻
Here in Florida. Shorts, light tee-shirts, breathable walking shoes, sunblock and a rain coat. It's 35+C everyday.
I wear wool socks all year in mountains in US. So agree about wool.
All gold advice. It is like you are packing for Appalachian Mountains, USA.
Just hearing you say "arctic circle" made me shiver!
Mads’ reactions to the t shirt, sunglasses, shorts, ...priceless. OMG i love you guys.
Was in Oslo about two weeks ago with the beautiful cloud formations! So lucky to catch that!!
What else did you see and do ??
If you visit Oregon, bring empty suitcases. We do not have a sales tax in Oregon, so visitors from areas that have high taxes find the prices for apparel and shoes to be very attractive here. Come with just what you are wearing on the plane, and fill up a full wardrobe here and take it all back home. I know a couple from Austria that does this each time they visit.
That's a very interesting advise. Thx a lot. We have never been to the US, but would love to 😊
*Norway's opposite, is Arizona*
You don't wanna be there in Summer, but Winters are perfect.
Although, that's just in the Deserts.
I live at 7000' (2134 m) elevation, and have seen it snow in June.
Too 🥵 for a 🐧 there. Thanks for sharing
Just move to Norway for the summer :)
Absolutely. I live here and I don't want to be here in the summer. At least you don't have to shovel heat, and the rest of the year is paradise. It makes it worth it. And we don't have hurricanes... Floridians... lol
People forget Arizona has 9000' (2743 m) mountains that jut up from the desert landscape. They call them "sky islands." One of them has a ski resort just 45 minutes from Tucson.
Omg I would totes take sun and hot over months of endless cold, snow, then rain. I love the desert!!!
Hey Ronald! I'm back! Sorry for the slow slow reply but anyways nice video as always! About my trip in Bergen it has been incredible! All of the days were sunny anf beautiful. We explored the city, ate plukkfisk and bought lots and lots of stuff! Including a traditional sweater ;). I did buy an umbrella in Bergen btw, absolute beast umbrella. I went trekking on Fløyen and explore the trek routes. I took some stunning pictures on the road and on my birthday I took a boat trip around the city. There was fog till the half of the trip and then it retreated leaving a superb view. The boat captain was stunned. And yeah to all the people going to Norway take sunglasses! You'll need them!
Hei Thunder 😀 So nice to hear from you again! So many sunny days in Bergen 😱 You are blessed 😂 Thanks for sharing your awesome story with us !
I love how there is some music and it gets serious all of a sudden. You have great timing with your humor and music and more.
Thanks, its a team work. Mads, behind the camera, is also very musical when editing.
the thin wool pants to wear under your regular pants in U.S. are called long underwear or colloquially long johns love your videos
Thanks 😻
Also called base layer in the fancy outdoorsy catalogs. :D
Also sometimes called thermals.
thongs provide ventilated cheekage the world over
Marie M they are called long johns in England
I live in AZ... be sure to pack your sunglasses and a hat and if you plan on going outside in the summer (not recommended unless you get up VERY early) it's best to wear a thin long sleeved shirt to keep the sun off as much of your skin as possible. We have great hiking here so good heavy boots, not those hiking sandals you see, the cactus thorns go right through them .. ouch!
A wise lady once told me in San Francisco, "Dress to strip."
😂👌😂
That is Funny, right there. :-D
"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". Brings layers, sweater and light jacket. NO shorts. You will be marked as a tourist for sure. Of course if you drive east into the central valley...HOT!
Oona Johnson Tourists freeze in the evenings, fooled by our balmy days, but when the sun goes down you need a light jacket.
Yep! I have visited San Francisco, and it can be cold on the Bay, warm or even hot in the city. Dress in layers, good walking shoes, ride the tour bus or cable car. "Peace. Love. Recycle."
"Wind jacket"-- we call them windbreakers. And our common saying is, "if you don't like the weather here, stick around. It will change!"
In may, we have had 75° F balmy weather, a tornado, and snow all within 1 day!
Thanks for sharing 😀
Where is 'here'?
@@sleepy314 lol..."here" is the midwest, specifically Indiana:-)
I tune in for the props and YourWay2Norway never disappoints.
Extremely high production value 😊
Come and visit Hawaii in the summer! You will not need any coat, sweater, windbreaker, raincoat or woollen clothing. It will be hot and humid every day - 30 - 35 C - but it may rain occasionally. Bring shorts, jeans, tshirts or polo shirts and sneakers. Love you guys!! I have heard about the rain in Bergen before 😂
Bring a rashguard big sun hats, and sun protective clothing especially if you are white. Otherwise, you will be painfully red in 15 minutes, lol. Otherwise, the only time you need a sweater or jacket is if you are from here and freeze in January when the temperature dips into the low 70's (21C).
Another fantastic, informative video. You guys are the best! Thank you for teaching us about Norway. You've made me add visiting your beautiful country to my bucket-list. All the best to you both.
Perfect! In one week I go with my friends to Norway 🇳🇴 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
The uptight penguin, hahaha. I love your snake skin suitcase! At 4:40 we call that long underwear, or thermal underwear.
I prefer soCal where it's pretty much perfect weather year round. 77F (25C) is all the degrees anyone needs. To us 67F (19C) is cold and 87F (30C) is hot. If I have to wear a jacket at Disneyland in the evening, that's cold. Snow is something we drive to the mountains to visit and then we drive back home to the beach. Snow is for playing in, not living in! :D
Texas lite clothing as it is humid and hot but can rain at any time. Love the video LOL
In St. Louis, bring shorts, t-shirts, comfortable running shoes and a towel so you can wipe away the sweat. You will be drinking lots of cold water. It is HOT and HUMID here in the summer. I stay inside with the air conditioning, lol.
I am going to Oslo in two weeks. Thanks for this!
Welcome to Norway 😀😀
Loved the clothes you had! Thanks for the tip, so close to the Arctic Circle, really cool! Need Summer & beach wear almost 365 days a year here in Hawaii
🌴🌞🌺🌎
It was 41 degrees Celsius the other day here in Texas. Bring as little to wear as possible during the summer. Grab an inner tube(water floating device), a chest of ice cold beer, some drinking water, and find the nearest body of water to live out the rest of your 🥵 stay in. 😁
In Stornoway, pack as you would for Bergen. In London, jeans, sneakers, shorts, t-shirts, and something light and waterproof. Great video. Very useful.
Thanks for sharing Iain Campbell. Think I will go to London ;)
You can pack the lightest if you're visiting here. No need jacket, heavy shoes, windbreaker or anything wool. Just shorts, bermudas, tshirt and sandals. Sunglasses is a must.
I just saw a video on the Vigiland Sculpture Park. Oh my!!!
The way Ronald said penguin is to cute!
Hello gents! Just another great informative video with a slash of funny!!😃😂😁your suitcase in the park was like maybe like a "traveling salesman" selling the latest a greatest cooking pans!!! Cool ❄❄❄were those powder baby blue "sneaks"??!! Hey now So, much great style!!! Here in mo...in january you may have a day where you can go coatless even shorts or a january the next day your dressing for the "polar vortex"!! One day in particular....we had rain and thunder showers in the morning...sunny in the afternoon..early evening rain freezing on surfaces....and 5 inches of snow by morning!!! By noon next day its melting...everyone dresses in some interesting outfits!! Flip flops or boots!! They always say here wait you will see weather change in a flash!! Guaranteed you will be in the summer here... sweating in places that you don't Want too....!!!the other day the air was like a soggy sponge!!! 🌪🌩🌨⛈🌬🌞🌝☀️💙💚💚
If you come to Arizona in the summer. You will need sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Shorts and t shirts are recommended. Jeans work too. Boots are essential to hike in the mountains as well as jeans. Bring swimming trunks and tennis shoes as well.
I love your channel! I live in North Mississippi, USA. Normally in July and August it's 36 or 37 degrees celsius, with around 60% humidity. So the heat index is around 39 degrees celsius. We usually just dash from the air conditioned car to the air conditioned buildings. At night and early morning, it is very nice. Shorts, tank tops, and sandels are the preferred dress. Jeans and cool short-sleeved or sleeveless tops are good.
🥵🥵 Thanks for sharing. And thanks a lot for your engagement and very motivating comment 😻
Thanks for the temperatures in Celsius, I know it doesn't come natural to Americans but you have been very considerate since you were addressing an European TH-camr. This European commenter also appreciates it. Thumbs up 👍
Lovely video and very informative help me in my next trip to Oslo from nord norge
In the western half it is hot and dry, typically 80-100F. So lighter weight clothes are good - tshirt & shorts. (Your shorts are swimming trunks in the US) Sandals or sneakers for your feet. Like Norway, people on vacation are casual. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a must. Along the Pacific coast it can get chilly so a fleece jacket can be good and maybe longer jeans. For the eastern half, the Mississippi River to the east coast, it is hot and sticky humid. Plan to go everywhere in air conditioning. Your sensitive Norwegian bodies will melt in the heat and humidity. Make plans to never be very far from air conditioning. The humidity also means sudden thundershowers. It dumps rain from the sky for 15-30 minutes and then it is hot and humid again. An umbrella or rain coat won't help. Just plan to change into dry clothes. One last warning-in the middle of the country with the thunderstorms you can have tornados. Otherwise, America is a wonderful place to visit.
You can leave everything when coming to India. Just t-shirts and shorts will be fine. India has four seasons but looking at Norway weather I think you can consider all seasons to be a variety of summer - Hot, Rain, humid and hot, mild hot.
Greetings from Baja! In here the summer starts in May and ends in October! We usually are between 45-50 degrees the city (Mexicali) record its 51 at night!!!
If you come to Chicago, Illinois a mixture of sweaters, jeans, shorts, tee shirts, light rain coat with a hood, umbrella, and walking shoes. Also a swimsuit so you can hang out at either Oak Street beach or North Avenue beach. You can see Chicago's very impressive skyline and if here in August can see the Air and Water Show from the both beaches.
For the USA from Europe.... pack light as clothes are a bargain here. Nice looking slip on sneakers, decent pair of day to night jeans, sleeping joggers, 4 or so weather appropriate tops and a jacket... about all one needs. Leave room in your bag for shopping.
bring exactly the same things if you come to New Zealand in summer. It can be boiling hot one minute, and freezing and seriously windy the next. It usually floods in the coromandel peninsular around christmas/new year too... and thats where a lot of people go to camp grounds for holidays! Our summer is from december.
do love your dramatic videos.....hope to visit someday
Welcome 😀
And thanks!
Hei Ronald og Mads. Ha! You are giving correct advice but as you said, so many people think that all of Norway is covered in snow all year round!
This vid is great, I don't know how you get your ideas and inspiration but I am glad that you do.
Wool all the way for me it cannot be beaten.
Ha! an umbrella from Bergen- well it certainly rains there, similar to my part of the U.K. so if you visit me bring an umbrella each.
We have had some extraordinarily high temperatures and I know that you have had also. I hate strong sun- autumn is my favourite season, both in U.K and in Norway. This is yet another great vid, love to hear Mads off camera!
Tusen takk.
Johnny. Northwest England. U.K.
This video came a bit late for my trip to Oslo 😣... But I did reasonably well my packing anyway. No pinguin 🐧 outfit 😆. Except I got a serious storm one day and my umbrella☔ couldn't cope. It didn't occur to me to buy a Norwegian one. But I'm not a big fan of umbrellas anyway, hence the cheapo lightweight one I brought with me. I bought wool though, two nice, heavy Norwegian sweaters against which the Italian winter will have no chance, I'm sure.
So, tips for the Italian summer: Light clothing, sunscreen and sunglasses, as for every other proper Syden location 😎, but this is the obvious bit. Something more specific: a foldable water bottle to keep in your pocket and fill up at water fountains, to avoid being overcharged by vendors in touristy places, long trousers if you plan to visit churches and the like (in many places men wearing shorts or women with skimpy clothes are not welcome). Oh and about shoes, flip flops are OK at the beach, but if you visit a city you will end up walking a lot more than you expect so the shoes you suggest in the video are also the perfect choice for Italy, comfy above all else. What else? Oh yes, in big crowded cities (Rome, Venice, Florence, etc.) keep your money in the front pocket of your trousers and only a small amount for the day. The rest either at the hotel or in a safety pouch under your clothes. But don't worry too much it is pretty safe nowadays (with some little precautions😉). Relax and eat a lot, best way to enjoy my country 👍
It is hot and muggy here in The New Forest ,windows open and big fan on all night xx
Your tip, we call them long johns in America. They are brilliant. Good things to know. Thank you. I dream of coming to Norway. My ancestors are from there. Have a great night...or day. Lol. 🌹
I hope to visit Norway one day.
Kisses and hugs from Brazil!
Bem-vindo 😻
Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan is like Norway weather except usually the weather is warmer at times. We suggest a hoodie and jeans for the cooler weather and shorts and tee shirts (maybe a few sundresses for women) for the warmer weather. Sneakers are a very good choice and maybe a pair of sandals for the beach and of course a bathing suit and cover up. You should always bring a light rain jacket and an umbrella. Its just about the same. This year we have had the coldest end of spring to summer that I can remember. Rainy and cold for summer. Its been in the 50's, 60's and low 70's for months. That is 10's, 15's, 21's in Celsius. Now we are in the mid 70's or near 80 and humid. It has not been ideal beach weather. Here in Michigan we are surrounded by 4 of the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Lake Erie). Lots of beaches!!!! Now we just need a bit of nice weather.........
Thanks for sharing! Now we are prepared 👌😀
Gosh, your sense of humor is on another level 😂😂😂❤🌿
I’m watching your vlogs again, you and Mads make me smile/ laugh, we need you in times like this( social isolation)
Awesome and very motivating to hear Summer Wood. Thanks! Hugs and cheers from us :):)
Forgot to comment on how good your national orchestra is. Grays. We have a nice one in Houston., expensive and most of the tickets are help by "patrons".
Coming to the UK. Just bring the same things.
I wear my sunglasses in the rain or snow 😉😎
👌😎
Coastal NC in the summer must haves: daytime- shorts, t shirts, swim suit; nighttime- jeans, t-shirts. At the beach you should have a windbreaker at night because when the sun goes down, the wind picks up and it can feel chilly next to the 95F days. Sunscreen, mosquito repellent, sunglasses and a sense of humor are necessities!
When this video started and you were peeling off clothes, I was saying: take it off, take it all off!! Hahahaha...
Good to know tips! Colorado weather calls for layers. Gets cold in the mountains at night!
I’ve visited the south of Norway (Oslofjord) in July every year for the last 19 years - it is usually pretty warm! 25-30 degrees C, I typically wear shorts and short sleeves or long sleeves, though it can get fairly windy. About three years ago however, it was very nearly freezing - in the middle of July!
That's so typical Norwegian summer weather. But it's most stabile in the Oslo fjord region. Thanks for sharing 👌
First July week in Norway and temperature drop to 3 degree and snowing.
Not in the North we didn’t overpass the Oslo Bergen line.
All tourist could be easily recognized by the new colour jackets !
And rain of course not too much fortunately and expected.
But so low temperatures were not expected.
Oslo showed his better colours and sun anyway.
Love you videos!
Thanks and cheers from Ronald and Mads in the team 😀😀
Great video, guys. What’s essential in the USA during Summer...to me, it’s open toed sandals or flip flops. It gets mighty hot and humid here. A comfortable pair of shorts and tee shirts. That’s pretty much it💖
Hi Lori Lyn. Envy you guys 😀🐧
YOURWAY2NORWAY except, with my naturally curly hair, it looks like a wooly mammoth has taken up residence on my head😂😩😂🤪
Long Johns is what we call them with a vest
A packet of lemsips for the constant colds we have regardless of any weather
If you come to Malaysia where its sunny all year round, bring t shirts, sunglasses, shorts, flip flops and sneakers
👌😎✈
I just returned from a week in Oslo, and it was fabulous. Your tips on packing, saving money, and exploring the city were very helpful! I stayed in Grunerløkka, and visited Sentrum, Frogner, the mountaintop views, Grønland (briefly), Sørengkaia, and Bygdøy. You’re right-Aker Brygge is a tourist hell to be avoided; it was the only part of the city I didn’t like. I think was a big fan of SKAM, especially season three, so I enjoyed finding as many Isak and Even spots as I could.
Well, if for some reason you decide to vacation in Oklahoma, USA (which why would you ever do that) in summer you will need the highest SPF sunblock possible because the sun will literally cook you, some extremely light clothing, lately we've had apocalyptic flooding so maybe a boat and sunglasses are a must. Don't worry about an umbrella because the winds are ridiculous and you will fly away like Mary freaking Poppins.
To add to this, make sure you buy bug spray. It may be so hot in July and especially August that you wish you could take your skin off, but the need for shorts and T's also means there is more for mosquitoes to go after.
Do go to Oklahoma. Just not in the summer.
Im supposed to be watching videos about ireland since im going there soon but i ended up binge watching your videos.:-)I really like the personality u portray in your videos.Thanks for the endless laugh.A huge fan from Philippines
Opal Marie same here. Going to Ireland next week and here i am watching this video... LOL
Hi Opal you are cool. We love that you do 🤗 🤗 Ireland is so close to Norway, so you can visit both of us. Thanks and enjoy your journey 🤞😀
Thanks a lot Lena Annis and have a wonderful trip to Ireland 😀😀
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY 😍😘
I am in England and I think I already own most of these clothes as we can have multiple seasons in one day too!
here in the philippines during summer most people bring shorts, foods ,water etc especially sun screen xuz the temperature can be higher in 39, 40C° 🤷
In East Tennessee today the temperature is 92F/33C with 93% relative humidity. The heat index calculates that to feel like 128F/53C. Bring swim gear and go to the nearest body of water! Love your videos!!😘
FYI buying umbrella in Bergen... They sell the cheapo small ones that fit in your purse (and won't survive Bergen rain) as well... So look for the sturdy ones with thick metal ribs. I'm from Bergen, so I own a "sydvest" and proper rain gear, and leave the umbrella at home when the wind wants to fight me....
Important info!! Thanks a lot for adding 👌😀
Okay guys another great video. Fun & informative. Coming to Texas in summer. If you could get away with going naked??? It's illegal!!! You could get a bad burn on all those sensitive body parts too. Lots of swim suits & sunscreen. Summer hats, sunglasses, comfortable shoes. Nothing tight. Something to wear for dinner. Nice but casual. By the time dinner time comes around you will be ravenously hungry. Sandals, sneakers, & swimming shoes. Love you guys!!!
I live in Minnesota USA, land of the Norwegians, pack like you are staying in Norway. It has been known to snow in July here.
If you’re coming to Iran in summer bring light summer clothes, a stainless steel (water) canteen, sunglasses, sunscreen and sandals or sneakers. If you plan to go mountain climbing bring suitable boots wit you.
And don’t forget a (sun) hat or a cap🧢 , (bucket hat has been fashionable).
I almost forgot, you also need tick repellent
If you have plans to come to Texas in the summer change them and come in fall or spring. That's when all the best cook offs and festivals are.
Cool
T-shirts jeans ,trainers ,sun glasses ,shorts swim wear ,track bottoms and hoody ,See you soon xx
We have an umbrella we bought in Bergen and until it failed seven years later was known as the Bergen Brolly for alliterative purposes. I have never been to Bergen without it raining.
Love your story 👌 thanks for sharing!
Here in Pittsburgh (where the Penguins stay inside and play hockey) I used to worry about not having thick-soled boots for winter. When I did have boots, they would tear apart my white athletic socks. Last year I switched and wore thick wool socks under athletic shoes. It's the best way -- the Norwegian way, apparently. My feet never felt better during the winter. Thank you for validating my decision.
Ha ha ha
If coming to California it can be anything. Here on the Central Coast it can go from freezing blowing foggy dampness to sunny and actually hot in the matter of hours as well. So dressing in layers here is a great idea and of course always have a t shirt underneath and sunglasses as well. No need for serious wool though in the summer.
We have learnt from yours and others comments that weather in California is not what we think: Baywatch sky every day. Awesome insights. Thanks for sharing and engaging 😀😀
Hi Guys, I found I definitely packed too much when I went to Norway in early summer. The hotel rooms were too warm for me, so I wished I hadn't have packed 3 pairs of winter pajamas! When you come to Australia in Summer always pack sunscreen and a hat, sunglasses and swim wear. It can get breezy in some places like where I live so bring a light cardigan/jacket, also for when the air-conditioners are turned up to freezing!!!
If you are coming to Australia. Do not pack a snake kit (many do and it is 100% useless) you will rarely see a snake. If you do not like flies pack fly repellant but you can buy it here to. Depending on the part of Australia you will probably not need wool. If going to Melbourne or Tasmania or the South of Australia pack similar to going to Norway in Summer. Otherwise no wool you will get too hot unless its the middle of winter then pack Nordic summer wool. You may need a thin rain jacket. For the North of Australia you can get away with just packing thongs (or slip slops) shorts and t-shirt :).
We have a lot of tourists that come to the Iowa State Fair every year in August. Why? I don't know. It is hot hot 🔥!! But this is Iowa and the weather can change in a minute so when you pack, make sure you bring sunglasses, a sun hat ( to keep the sun off your face) sunscreen, shorts, tank top, t-shirt, athletic shoes (cuz you're going to do a lot of walking) and just in case bring a sweatshirt and maybe some jeans and an umbrella. Because sometimes the weather changes and we get cold rainy weather during the fair. But the weather aside, the Iowa State Fair kicks ass!!
