Wedding weather is scored differently from travel weather: seated guests in formalwear tolerate a narrower band than sightseers, and the ceremony hour matters more than the daily average. Each month in Narvik is scored 0–100 on the weighting below.
| Factor | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Dry conditions | 38% | Share of days with measurable rain — the single factor most likely to force a backup plan. |
| Guest comfort | 27% | Distance from a 22°C daytime ideal, with an extra penalty for humid heat above 24°C. |
| Evening temperature | 20% | Modelled reception-hour temperature against an 18°C ideal for an outdoor evening. |
| Photo light | 15% | Sunshine hours and daylight length, which set the length and quality of the golden hour window. |
Based on long-run climate averages rather than a forecast. Plan the ceremony around the golden hour — see golden hour times for Narvik linked below.
June, at 78/100. It combines very low rain risk with 16°C afternoons and roughly 11°C evenings, which is the most forgiving combination Narvik offers for seated guests.
December scores 8/100: 0°C highs, 54mm of rain over about 12 days and -5°C evenings make a fully outdoor plan fragile.
In June rain falls on roughly 3 of 30 days, so the single-day probability is about 10%. In December that rises to about 40%.
A marquee on standby is usually enough in June, where rain risk is very low. Outside the 3 months scoring 65 or higher, book real covered space.
June gives 24 hours of daylight and about 10 hours of direct sun. Put portraits in the final 60–90 minutes of daylight so they land inside golden hour rather than after it.
