'Summer cancelled'

As Southern Norway woke up to yet another day of heavy, leaden skies and showers, a state meteorologist threw even more cold water on hopes the sun will finally come out and stay for a while.

"If we're to get any better summer weather, something dramatic will have to happen," a state Meteorologic Institute told newspaper Aften on Monday, adding that he can see "no sign" of any warmer or drier weather in the weeks ahead.

The wettest summer on record thus looks likely to continue.

84 days of rains in Bergen

I'ts been raining the last 84 days in Bergen, Norway. This is the final record. Today the weather was sunny and bright. It's a new record.
The old record was 59 days.
During this time the people here has not been able to see the sun, except for a few hours.
A joke is told in Bergen about a tourist asking a local boy if it ever stops raining. "I don't know," replies the boy, "I'm only twelve."
For some years there were paraplyautomater (umbrella vending machines) installed in the streets, however, they did not turn out to be a success.

The record in Norway was set at a weather station at Horni in Bærum, west of Oslo, during the period September 24 to December 19, 2000, when it rained at least once a day for 87 days.
