Traveller notes on Ålesund in July
Other months in Ålesund
Ålesund's forum calls June a relatively dry month for the fjord region, though genuinely capable of anything from sunny and warm to cold, windy and rainy. Regulars put typical temperatures in the 8-18°C range, and flag round-the-clock daylight as the real seasonal draw — a wind- and water-resistant jacket is standard advice regardless of what the forecast says.
