Cold Constitution Day
Meteorologists say Norway’s fervent 17th of May celebrations are looking more likely to be cold and damp.

The enthusiastic day of children’s parades, royal greetings, outdoor games and hot dogs and ice cream looks set to be rained out in 2007.
Cold rainy weather is predicted for most of the country now, with an exception being the Trøndelag region in the middle of Norway, where the sun should at least shine.
“It won’t be warm anywhere on the 17th of May. In Trøndelag we expect 10-12C (50-54F). We may see something similar in inner Eastern Norway, while the rest of the country prepare for chilly temperatures,” said Rita Moi at the Meteorological Institute.
A major low pressure area will affect Western Norway and bring strong winds and rain to the coast there. The southern region can expect similar weather, though with some chances of occasional sunshine.
In the far north meteorologists predict biting cold winds and rain.
