What's the temperature like in Norway during September?

It's cold in Norway during September. The temperature tops out at around 12℃ during the day, falling away to -1℃ at night. Brrrr! The UV index will be low at this time of year, so not something to worry about. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's always a good idea to apply a small amount of sunscreen to exposed skin.
