Winter conditions also become more reliable in January, making it a good month to experience the winter atmosphere on Lofoten. January is dark with the sun barely rising above the horizon in the first half of the month, but the light is simply amazing a continuous sunrise to sunset which lasts for 2-4 hours. November is often dark and rainy, perhaps the worst month of the year to visit. Unless you’re going to experience the polar night, I’d say skip it, as conditions aren’t consistent enough. With January, more reliable winter conditions arrive, but not always! It can be 6˚C and raining for a week at any time, and typically there is some fluctuation between above and below freezing temperatures on a regular basis.ĭecember is the darkest month of the year on Lofoten. Before the new year, the weather is too inconsistent, it might snow or it might just rain. If you are traveling to Lofoten for the ‘winter look’ of the islands, then mid January to late March is the best period. Or, as I like to say, Lofoten looks colder than it actually is (most of the time!).
Winter on Lofoten is a delicate balance between snow and rain.
