Did You Know?
Bergen averages around 230 days of rain a year and roughly 2,250 mm of it, making it one of the wettest cities in Europe. In 2006–07 it rained for 85 consecutive days, which the local paper covered as a countdown.
The clock: at 60.4° north Bergen swings from about 19 hours of daylight in June to under 6 in December — though in a city this cloudy, the distinction is somewhat theoretical.
Bergen lies at 5.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 9.7° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 39 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:39 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 99 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:39.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 19h 2m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 5h 45m. The swing between them is 13h 17m. Close to the Arctic or Antarctic circle, the year swings hard between long light and long dark.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Bergen the sun comes up earliest on 20 June at 04:09, while the latest sunset waits until 24 June at 23:11. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Bergen that civil twilight runs about 42 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 124 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
