Traveller notes on Geiranger in April
Other months in Geiranger
Geiranger's forum is blunt that June weather is anyone's guess — regulars say to expect anything from a sunny, 25°C heatwave to cold, windy and rainy, and to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. Norway's whole west coast has a cool, wet climate at heart, so it rarely looks quite like the postcard on a random June day, even if the fjord itself is at its most dramatic with peak snowmelt waterfalls.
