Trondheim weather

Trondheim weather is different from the  upper North of Norway.
Trondelag has a beautiful weather. In fact a person can experience four seasons in one day. Why? Because  we have a changeable climate in Trondheim.  Norway has a great weather because of the Gulf Stream! The reason is that  it carries the warm water. This ocean current  starts in the Mexican Gulf,then  currents along Florida coast,  continues along the American East coast until it turn aside North Eastward by the Grand banks to the South of Newfoundland where it crosses the Labrador current. The Gulf Stream crosses the Atlantic and reaches North of Ireland where the Continental shelf makes the bulk of the current continue to the North of Norway and round to Russia where it keeps the port of Murmansk ice free. According to the NASA's  Earth Observatory the temperature range from about 7 to 22 degrees Celsius. (Responsible NASA Official: Lorraine A. Remer,Science Mission Directorate)
