Pressure and weather in Bergen Municipality
Bergen sits at the head of the Byfjorden, ringed by the seven mountains that hem the city against the water on Norway's western coast. It is one of the wettest cities in Europe, and the reason is geometry: the North Atlantic storm track aims depressions directly at this coastline, and the mountains rising immediately behind the city force that saturated maritime air upward, wringing it out over the town. From September through March the barometer here is about as active as anywhere in Europe, with lows arriving in families, one behind another, and falls of thirty to forty hectopascals inside a day occurring several times each winter. The North Atlantic Drift keeps the coast surprisingly mild for the latitude, so most of this arrives as rain rather than snow even in January. Summer is cooler and calmer, with long daylight and a barometer that finally settles, though rain remains frequent.
What this means for you
Few places give you as many deep, fast pressure falls in a single winter as the Norwegian west coast, which makes correlation quicker to establish here than almost anywhere. Log a full autumn in the migraine tracker app and the pattern, if you have one, should emerge within weeks.
