Narvik What to Pack

Miscellaneous: What to pack ofcourse depends on the season and what you wanna do in your vacation. In winter we usually have snow on the ground most of the time. But the weather is very unpredictable. Some years we get snow in october, some years it doesnt arrive until december and in 2002 there were even in january no snow for most of the time. The snow usually stay until april in downtown Narvik. Coldest temperature ever recorded in Narvik is about -20C, warmest in the low 30C's. In winter the average maximum temperature in coldest months january and february is -2C. But it can be 8C and rain or -15C or colder, you never knows. Summers are also unpredictable. It can rain day after day or it can be clear sky for weeks and temperatures between 20 and 30C.
This summer 2002 has been very nice here in Narvik with high temperatures and few rainy days.
So in summer pack for warm summertemperatures but add a few clothes for cool days and in winter bring clothes for bitterly cold weather but add some for mild days as well... PHOTOS: A SUMMERDAY ON THE BEACH NEAR TOWN AND EASTERTIME IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NARVIK.
