There is a nip in the air and heather and moss start changing colours. The autumn colours are at their most intense in early September in the far northeast, and in the first days of October down below the Arctic Circle. In the far north, winter is there sometimes in early November. Down in the southwest of Northern Norway, you can have an Autumn feel until Christmas. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the weather like in Autumn?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tWe all hope for sunny mild day with good visibility. When that happens, you can expect low nighttime temperatures, often involving frost. There is no hiding that it can rain heavily in autumn. In the northern part of Northern Norway, you can wake up to a layer of snow already in early September, but by mid day it usually has melted again. Stable snow for a few days can happen in October, but that usually doesn&#039;t linger either. November can be a transitional period with snow, rain and good weather. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is the Autumn good for hiking?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tIn Autumn, the snow has melted even on the highest peaks. The bugs are long gone, and the temperatures are cooler than they can be in July\/August. The air is also clearer than in the summer haze, so you can see much further. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What part of the Autumn is best for hiking?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tThe early days of September usually have the longest days and the highest temperatures. However, all September is usually good. In October, the locals opt for shorter hikes. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can you really see the Northern Lights in Autumn? I thought that was for wintertime...\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tIt has to be dark to see the Northern Lights. In mid-August, the night is still very short, but you might be lucky. By late August -  early September, the chances get bigger every night. By mid-September, all the evening hours with the biggest intensity are after dark, meaning you have excellent chances. In addition, the planet is better aligned with the sun around Autumn equinox, creating more frequent solar storm. All in all, the latter half of September and October is a good period to see the Northern Lights. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What can I do to see the Northern Lights in September-October?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tGo for a long walk! Bring a headlamp, walk up to the nearest hill, while you look around. Bring some warm coffee and maybe a tidbit. You can also walk along the beach. Try move to darker places, although the effect of light pollution tends to be exaggerated. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What do I do if there are no clear skies and I want to see the Northern Lights?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tThe Northern Lights are never guaranteed. But a solid cloud cover is a guarantee for NOT seeing the Northern Lights. A rental car can be a good idea, drive to the areas behind the next mountain, that might have clear skies. The professional Northern Lights chasers, however, are experts at this: They are experts at reading weather charts, and can find out where the chances of finding an opening in the cloud cover are the biggest. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is good hiking weather guaranteed?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tGood weather is never guaranteed in Northern Norway.

There is a nip in the air and heather and moss start changing colours. The autumn colours are at their most intense in early September in the far northeast, and in the first days of October down below the Arctic Circle. In the far north, winter is there sometimes in early November. Down in the southwest of Northern Norway, you can have an Autumn feel until Christmas. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the weather like in Autumn?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tWe all hope for sunny mild day with good visibility. When that happens, you can expect low nighttime temperatures, often involving frost. There is no hiding that it can rain heavily in autumn. In the northern part of Northern Norway, you can wake up to a layer of snow already in early September, but by mid day it usually has melted again. Stable snow for a few days can happen in October, but that usually doesn&#039;t linger either. November can be a transitional period with snow, rain and good weather. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is the Autumn good for hiking?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tIn Autumn, the snow has melted even on the highest peaks. The bugs are long gone, and the temperatures are cooler than they can be in July\/August. The air is also clearer than in the summer haze, so you can see much further. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What part of the Autumn is best for hiking?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tThe early days of September usually have the longest days and the highest temperatures. However, all September is usually good. In October, the locals opt for shorter hikes. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can you really see the Northern Lights in Autumn? I thought that was for wintertime...","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tIt has to be dark to see the Northern Lights. In mid-August, the night is still very short, but you might be lucky. By late August -  early September, the chances get bigger every night. By mid-September, all the evening hours with the biggest intensity are after dark, meaning you have excellent chances. In addition, the planet is better aligned with the sun around Autumn equinox, creating more frequent solar storm. All in all, the latter half of September and October is a good period to see the Northern Lights. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What can I do to see the Northern Lights in September-October?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tGo for a long walk! Bring a headlamp, walk up to the nearest hill, while you look around. Bring some warm coffee and maybe a tidbit. You can also walk along the beach. Try move to darker places, although the effect of light pollution tends to be exaggerated. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What do I do if there are no clear skies and I want to see the Northern Lights?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tThe Northern Lights are never guaranteed. But a solid cloud cover is a guarantee for NOT seeing the Northern Lights. A rental car can be a good idea, drive to the areas behind the next mountain, that might have clear skies. The professional Northern Lights chasers, however, are experts at this: They are experts at reading weather charts, and can find out where the chances of finding an opening in the cloud cover are the biggest. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is good hiking weather guaranteed?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tGood weather is never guaranteed in Northern Norway.
