I want to be there right now and escape the unbearable heat....

Yeah! Hope we will not escape into unbearable mist, cold and rain!

The weather up there hasn't been too brilliant so far- so maybe it will change for the better when you arrive:-)

Yes, it's time to check weather forecast now and it's not overoptimistic... sprays and small showers (< 3 mm) in Nordland for 5 days of 7. :(
Recalls me weather forcast I've seen before we arrived to Nordland 2 years ago.

They say weather forecasts in Norway are only halfway accurate for the next day or the next two - anything else is pure speculation....days

Yes, it's true. Verified. ;-) I was hanging on www.yr.no for local forecast quite often during previous month...Quite often was a real weather a bit better than in forecast for next 2-3 days (drizzle or showers instead of rain). Sometimes forecast for next 6 hours was off (whole afternoon with rain showers instead of predicted short one hour sprinkle followed with fine spells).

Lovely atmosphere

Thank you Fantasyfan! Lofoten are great landscape, and with some luck, you can get amazing light!

Excellent!!
