Almanac

Point forecasts from three models, redrawn through the day.

Each place is drawn once with all models together — MET Norway, ICON · DWD and ECMWF IFS — and once per model. Updated 29 Oct 2026, 23:35 UTC.

Lomsdal-Visten

The route: the towns on the way in, then the line from the northern start to the southern endpoint, cut into sections small enough for one comparison chart.

Entrance

The towns on the way in, south to north. Far apart and far from the route, so this map is drawn at a much smaller scale than the others. Four is the most a comparison draws, so this section is now full.

Abisko

Not the route: a few days in Swedish Lapland, 400 km north-east. Two Malmbanan halts, two STF cabins and four points above the treeline. No locator map: Kartverket draws nothing over Sweden.
