Norway

       Another country I did was Oslo, Norway.  Norway is in Northern Europe.  So they would have the seasons as we do.  Although Norway is very far north of  the equator and close to the north pole temperatures are not a could as you would expect.  The reason why is simple.  The water in the golf of Mexico is warm and when it leaves it travels up the Atlantic to Norway and brings heat tot their beaches.  So if it were not for the golf of Mexico Norway would be very cold.  The rain fall in Norway is about 80 inches a year.  The average temperature on the coast of Norway in the summertime is 61° F. and the average temperature in the winter is 27°F.  Norway has very short summers but they are well enjoyed.  They also have very long cold winters.  In the short summer norway has you can see the sun all day and all night because you are so far north.  from noverber to the and of January on Norway you can never see the sun at all!  In the capital city, Oslo it is 29° F. in January.  Norway was my favorite country to study.
