Local weather character in Stavanger
- Fresh south-westerly onshore flow produces far stronger gusts across Jæren than a model grid box suggests, because the coast is fully exposed to the North Sea.
- Sea level in Stavanger harbour rises fast when a low pressure system combines with westerly wind — the values come from Kystverket gauges, not from a model.
- Showers shadowed by the Ryfylke mountains can leave the city dry while heavy rain falls only a few kilometres inland.
