Glaciers such as Briksdalsbreen are having a hard time in the heat. (Image Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons<\/a>, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> License.)<\/p><\/div>\n

Huff s\u00e5 varmt!<\/strong> (Ugh, how hot!) Like many other places in Europe, Norge<\/strong> has also been recently hit by a heteb\u00f8lge<\/strong> (heat wave). Here’s a tiny survival guide for the next time termometeret viser over 30 grader<\/strong> (the thermometer shows more than 30 \u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Husk \u00e5 drikke mye vann!<\/b> (Remember to drink lots of water!) As a rule, water in Norway is very clean, and you can safely drikke rett fra springen <\/b>(drink directly from the tap). But do check the water source when you’re p\u00e5 fjellet<\/b> (up in the mountains)! I’ve heard about people who got very ill after they drank from a brook where a dead sheep was lying rotting a bit further up…<\/p>\n

Ikke undervurder sola!<\/b> (Don’t underestimate the sun!) In Norway, which is closer to the North Pole’s thin ozone layer than your average country, solstr\u00e5lene<\/b> (the sunbeams) may actually scorch you more than in Italy… P\u00e5 h\u00f8yfjellet <\/a><\/b>(high up in the mountains) the sun is particularly bossy \u2013 beware of reflections from glaciers and other specks of snow! \ud83d\ude42 Solbriller og solkrem faktor 30 er en god id\u00e9.<\/b> (Sunglasses and sunscreen w. factor 30 is a good idea.)<\/p>\n

Nyt vannet. <\/b>(Enjoy the water.) Ferienorge<\/b> (“holiday Norway”) means bading<\/b> (bathing) and b\u00e5tliv<\/b> (boat life) to a lot of people. There’s no lack of strender, innsj\u00f8er og fjorder<\/b> (beaches, lakes and fjords) where you can cool down a little, and maybe ta noen sv\u00f8mmetak<\/b> (make some swimming strokes). \ud83d\ude42 F\u00f8ler du deg lat i sommervarmen, er det selvsagt ogs\u00e5 mulig \u00e5 vasse\u2026<\/b> (If you feel lazy in the summer warmth, wading is of course also possible\u2026)<\/p>\n

Spis is. <\/b>(Eat ice cream.) Norsk iskrem smaker kjempegodt! <\/b>(Norwegian ice cream tastes deliciously!) Eller kanskje foretrekker du \u00e5 drikke et glass saft eller en kald utepils i skyggen? <\/b>(Or maybe you prefer drinking a glass of juice\/lemonade or a cold “outdoor beer<\/a>” in the shadow?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
