Norway in September
We are considering spending a week in Norway between Bergen and Kristiansund in late September prior to a transatlantic cruise. Is September an ok time to visit? I know it is getting into the rainy season and some of the fjord excursions are closed, but any other thoughts about it? We plan to rent a car.

Can be a beautiful time to be in Norway with autumn colours, while most tourists have returned home you'll still find most tourist facilities are open - they often close end of September. But yes weather is somewhat less likely to be dry and will be chillier than in summer, dress for it and hope for the best. There is no rainy season - you can get rain all year round. Last year's weather (which is no guarantee for this years) can be found at: http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Hordal...tatistics.html

In an August/early September visit, we were wearing jackets and sweaters...chilly, especially as far north as Bodo and Tromso. Not cold, but cool around Bergen and Oslo. These are my pics from that trip so you can tell. We had no appreciable rain at all during a full month. Pics below.

tower - Thank you for the feedback on what weather to expect for early September. I am planning on a visit Sept. 9-18 Oslo, Flam, Bergen and wanted to hear from others who visited at that time of year. Loved your photos!
