Hello, Tromsø! As we step into mid-April, the city's weather patterns unfold with a blend of cool temperatures and persistent fog. Over the next few days, we can expect a mix of weather conditions that could bring both light drizzle and low visibility, typical for this time of year in this beautiful Arctic city.
On this day, temperatures will range from a chilly 0°C (32°F) to a high of 2°C (36°F). The day’s conditions will start with mist during the early hours, progressing into a day blanketed by fog. Visibility will be particularly low, often dipping below a mile, so be cautious if you're heading out. The chance of precipitation is low with a slight possibility of light drizzle later, but no significant snow accumulation is expected.
Sunrise will grace Tromsø at 04:42 AM, and the sun will set at 08:55 PM, giving us about 12 hours of daylight. A waning gibbous moon will illuminate the night sky, although the moonrise and moonset times remain unspecified.
As we transition into Thursday, temperatures will see a slight rise, with a minimum of 1°C (34°F) and a maximum reaching 3°C (37°F). Expect light rain throughout the day, especially during the morning hours, adding a bit of moisture to the air. The air will feel damp with humidity levels near 99%.
Fog will persist, heavily impacting visibility, especially in the morning and late afternoon. Look for increased chances of drizzle around the noon hour, and prepare for limited sunshine as the chance of a clear sky remains minimal.
The weather will take a turn towards colder conditions. We anticipate temperatures dropping to a low of -2°C (28°F) and a high of just 1°C (34°F). This day may also bring light sleet early on, transitioning to moderate or heavy snow showers in the afternoon and evening. Wind speeds will pick up as well, potentially leading to a significant wind chill factor that could make it feel even colder.
Visibility will again be a concern, particularly during heavier precipitation. As we approach the weekend, residents and visitors should prepare for the wintry conditions, as the chance of snow remains elevated.
