Local weather character in Bergen
- Westerly flow forced up over Ulriken and Løvstakken sharply enhances rainfall — models systematically underestimate totals in the city centre.
- Sheltered by the mountains, Bergen can be calm while it blows hard out in Byfjorden, which is why forecast and measured wind often differ here.
- In winter the rain/snow line shifts with altitude within minutes; KULING uses measured temperature to decide the precipitation phase.
