Vejret i Stavanger måned for måned

A local answering a Pulpit Rock question drops the line that reframes a Stavanger June: "average rain in June is 140mm for the month at the nearest weather station to Preikestolen — slightly more than the average for Bergen." Bergen is Norway's byword for rain. He adds: "last year it rained on 20 days in June, and that was a drier June than normal." Temperature is just as wide — in 2018 the hottest June day hit 26.7°C and the coldest managed 7.3°C, "so guess you can expect anything between 5 and 30°C." The advice for the hike is to read the 24-hour forecast, not the monthly one, and to carry a windproof jacket as a minimum plus sturdy shoes, because "you must be prepared for all sorts." Our city-centre record is milder — 86mm and 13 rain days — but the trailhead is the number that matters.

Forum posters cite typical December conditions in Stavanger around 10C with rain and wind, though one poster noted temperatures can swing from -5C up to 11.5C, averaging around 5.4C across the month. Posters consistently describe December as the darkest time of year, with only a few hours of daylight and conditions that can be dark, rainy, snowy and windy all within the same stretch - posters are direct that snow itself isn't a given. Posters generally recommend embracing the Christmas atmosphere as a real upside despite the challenging weather, highlighting Old Stavanger's charming December 1st market where local artists open their workshops, plus widespread festive lighting across the city. Posters generally rate December as dark, wet and cold but still worthwhile for the holiday atmosphere in Stavanger.
