Traveller notes on Trondheim in April
Other months in Trondheim
June in Trondheim barely gets dark — over twenty hours of daylight — and the forum's own saying is that if you are not happy with the weather, give it five minutes. Expect 10 to 20°C, some nights down to 5, occasional days above 25, and the honest possibility of cold, windy and rainy instead. They call June relatively dry, though the record still shows rain on about thirteen days. The packing list is a list precisely because you may need all of it: windproof and waterproof shell, a woollen sweater, long trousers, hiking shoes, and shorts. June versus July is not worth agonising over — the difference is statistical.
