==Geography and climate== Voss is in the innermost part of [[Bolstadsfjorden]] and includes the valleys that head inland from there. Voss has several large lakes: [[Evangervatnet]], [[Hamlagrøvatnet]], [[Lønavatnet]], [[Oppheimsvatnet]], [[Torfinnsvatnet]], and [[Vangsvatnet]]. In the north, Voss reaches to the [[Nærøydalen]] valley, which leads to the [[Nærøyfjorden]]. The [[Stalheimsfossen]] waterfall near [[Stalheim]] sits just above that valley. The [[Raundalen]] valley in the east is the main route of the [[Bergensbanen]] railway line, which connects eastern and western Norway. Voss has a [[humid continental climate]] (Dfb in the [[Köppen climate classification]] if {{convert|0 |°C}} is used as winter threshold. If the original {{convert|-3 |°C}} is used, then Voss will be classified as an oceanic climate (Cfb). The wettest time of year is October - January, and the driest season is April - July. The all-time high temperature is {{convert|34.1 |°C}} recorded 24 July 2014; the all-time low is {{convert|-30.4 |°C}} recorded 8 January 2010. {{Weather box |metric first= yes |single line = yes |location = Vossevangen 1991-2020 (54 m, extremes 2002-2024) |Jan record high C = 9.8 | Jan record low C = -30.4 |Feb record high C = 11.7 | Feb record low C = -25.09 |Mar record high C = 16.3 | Mar record low C = -24.1 |Apr record high C = 23.4 | Apr record low C = -10.6 |May record high C = 29.4 | May record low C = -3.5 |Jun record high C = 31.1 | Jun record low C = -0.6 |Jul record high C = 34.1 | Jul record low C = 2.7 |Aug record high C = 32.4 | Aug record low C = 3.1 |Sep record high C = 27 | Sep record low C = -1.3 |Oct record high C = 23 | Oct record low C = -9.6 |Nov record high C = 15.4 | Nov record low C = -17 |Dec record high C = 11.6 | Dec record low C = -29.7 <!-- Mean daily temperature --> |Jan mean C=-2 |Feb mean C=-2.1 |Mar mean C=1.1 |Apr mean C=5.3 |May mean C=9.8 |Jun mean C=13.5 |Jul mean C=15.8 |Aug mean C=14.8 |Sep mean C=11 |Oct mean C=5.8 |Nov mean C=1.6 |Dec mean C=-1.6 |year mean C= <!-- Total precipitation, this should include rain and snow. --> |precipitation colour=green <!-- Enter "green" for green precipitation colours, remove this line for blue colouring. --> |Jan precipitation mm=158.4 |Feb precipitation mm=126 |Mar precipitation mm=109 |Apr precipitation mm=71 |May precipitation mm=58.7 |Jun precipitation mm=64.1 |Jul precipitation mm=80.6 |Aug precipitation mm=100.3 |Sep precipitation mm=128.7 |Oct precipitation mm=149.8 |Nov precipitation mm=151.9 |Dec precipitation mm=170.6 |year precipitation mm= <!-- Mandatory fields, source --> |source 1= yr.no/Norwegian Meteorological Institute<ref>{{Cite web |title=yr.no/met.no |url=https://www.yr.no/en/statistics/table/5-51530/Norway/Vestland/Voss/Vossevangen}}</ref> |source 2= eklima/met.no<ref>{{Cite web |title=eklima portal |url=http://sharki.oslo.dnmi.no/portal/page?_pageid=73,39035,73_39080&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL}}</ref> |date=26 November 2021 }} {{Weather box |location = Voss, Norway 1961-1990 (125 m)|collapsed=yes |metric first = yes |single line = yes |Jan high C = -0.7 |Feb high C = 0.3 |Mar high C = 4.5 |Apr high C = 8.7 |May high C = 15.0 |Jun high C = 19.0 |Jul high C = 19.8 |Aug high C = 19.0 |Sep high C = 13.9 |Oct high C = 9.3 |Nov high C = 3.2 |Dec high C = 0.6 |Jan mean C = -4.5 |Feb mean C = -3.8 |Mar mean C = 0.2 |Apr mean C = 3.9 |May mean C = 9.3 |Jun mean C = 13.2 |Jul mean C = 14.2 |Aug mean C = 13.4 |Sep mean C = 9.4 |Oct mean C = 5.9 |Nov mean C = 0.3 |Dec mean C = -3.0 |Jan low C = -7.0 |Feb low C = -7.2 |Mar low C = -3.4 |Apr low C = -0.4 |May low C = 4.0 |Jun low C = 7.9 |Jul low C = 9.8 |Aug low C = 9.2 |Sep low C = 6.0 |Oct low C = 2.8 |Nov low C = -2.1 |Dec low C = -5.5 |Jan precipitation mm = 123 |Feb precipitation mm = 89 |Mar precipitation mm = 97 |Apr precipitation mm = 49 |May precipitation mm = 56 |Jun precipitation mm = 71 |Jul precipitation mm = 78 |Aug precipitation mm = 95 |Sep precipitation mm = 160 |Oct precipitation mm = 161 |Nov precipitation mm = 150 |Dec precipitation mm = 151 |Jan precipitation days = 15.5 |Feb precipitation days = 10.0 |Mar precipitation days = 11.5 |Apr precipitation days = 9.1 |May precipitation days = 10.1 |Jun precipitation days = 10.7 |Jul precipitation days = 12.1 |Aug precipitation days = 13.0 |Sep precipitation days = 16.5 |Oct precipitation days = 17.5 |Nov precipitation days = 16.1 |Dec precipitation days = 16.4 |source = Weatherbase.com<ref>{{Cite web |title=Voss, Norway Travel Weather Averages (Weatherbase) |url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=560525 |access-date=4 April 2018 |website=Weatherbase}}</ref> }}
