• i dag — today — Norwegians check dagens vær (today’s weather) before every hike.
• det regner — it is raining — essential in rainy Bergen. Pack a paraply (umbrella)!
• overskyet — cloudy, overcast — straight from the weather forecast (værmeldingen).
• kaldt — cold — Norwegians say: det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær (no bad weather, only bad clothes).
