On December 21st, the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year, Oslo’s enchanting winter glow is at its peak. Don’t miss this extraordinary moment to connect with nature’s rhythm and embrace the serene beauty of the season.

Living with Oslo’s Seasons

Oslo’s residents know the profound connection between their lives and the changing seasons. Twice a year, during the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, day and night reach perfect balance. These moments remind us of nature’s cycles and the unique light Oslo experiences throughout the year.

Spring Awakens: The Vernal Equinox (21st March)

As winter gives way to spring, the vernal equinox ushers in nearly 12 hours of daylight, with the sun rising at 07:04 and setting at 19:43. Parks like Frognerparken and Ekebergparken awaken with vibrant life, while the city’s waterfront fills with locals eager to embrace the season’s renewal.

Endless Daylight: The Summer Solstice (21st June)

The summer solstice in Oslo is almost otherworldly, offering nearly 19 hours of daylight. With the sun rising at 03:54 and setting at 22:43, it’s a celebration of light. Locals revel in late-night swims, barbecues, and forest hikes, celebrating the abundance of summer.

Nature’s Turning Point: The Autumnal Equinox (23rd September)

Autumn in Oslo is marked by a vibrant tapestry of golds, oranges, and reds. With shorter days and crisp air, it’s the perfect season for cozy walks along the Akerselva river or weekend hikes in Nordmarka.

Why Oslo Changes the Clocks

To maximize the unique daylight patterns, Oslo adjusts its clocks twice a year. On the last Sunday of March, the clocks spring forward, and on the last Sunday of October, they fall back, giving an extra hour of darkness for a cozy winter evening.
