=== Climate === Mosjøen is located about {{convert|100|km|mi}} south of the [[Arctic Circle]], and the town has an untypical wet and mild [[boreal climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Dfc''), with winter as the wettest season. The town has mild summers and moderately cold winters, but is mild compared to other places on similar latitudes. Situated at the head of a relatively narrow fjord, Mosjøen is not as mild in winter as places on the outer seaboard, but has slightly warmer summers. On July 27, 2019, Mosjøen recorded a high of {{convert|35|C|F|0}}, the warmest temperature recorded in Nordland and Northern Norway.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Infoclimat Mosjøen |url=https://www.infoclimat.fr/climatologie/normales-records/1991-2020/mosjoen-kjaerstad/valeurs/01122.htm}}</ref> Mosjøen receives a large amount of precipitation, particularly in autumn and early winter, and usually has substantial amounts of snow on the ground from early winter to April. Its temperatures are fairly similar to that of [[Anchorage, Alaska]]. The weather station is located at the airport, about {{convert|7|km}} further into the valley from Mosjøen. The town itself, located at the shores of the fjord, will have warmer lows than the airport. The record low is from January 2010. Mosjøen experiences [[midnight sun]] from June 16 to 26th due to [[atmospheric refraction]], but has no polar night. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Sunrise and sunset times in Mosjøen |url=https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/norway/mosjoen?month=6 |access-date=2020-12-03 |website=www.timeanddate.com |language=en}}</ref> {{Weather box |metric first= yes |single line = yes |location = Mosjøen Airport 1991-2020 (72 m, extremes 2002-2024) |Jan record high C = 9.3 | Jan record low C = -28.5 |Feb record high C = 11.2 | Feb record low C = -26.3 |Mar record high C = 12.9 | Mar record low C = -24.2 |Apr record high C = 19.4 | Apr record low C = -13.4 |May record high C = 29.7 | May record low C = -5.3 |Jun record high C = 30.7 | Jun record low C = -1 |Jul record high C = 35 | Jul record low C = 1.9 |Aug record high C = 29.1 | Aug record low C = -0.9 |Sep record high C = 25.3 | Sep record low C = -5.3 |Oct record high C = 18.5 | Oct record low C = -13.4 |Nov record high C = 12.8 | Nov record low C = -23.8 |Dec record high C = 9.7 | Dec record low C = -24.9 |Jan high C = -2 |Feb high C = -2 |Mar high C = 2 |Apr high C = 7 |May high C = 12 |Jun high C = 16 |Jul high C = 19 |Aug high C = 18 |Sep high C = 13 |Oct high C = 7 |Nov high C = 1 |Dec high C = -1 <!-- Mean daily temperature --> |Jan mean C=-3.8 |Feb mean C=-4.3 |Mar mean C=-1.8 |Apr mean C=2.6 |May mean C=6.9 |Jun mean C=11.1 |Jul mean C=14.7 |Aug mean C=13.1 |Sep mean C=8.9 |Oct mean C=3.3 |Nov mean C=-0.6 |Dec mean C=-3.3 |year mean C= |Jan low C = -6 |Feb low C = -6 |Mar low C = -5 |Apr low C = -1 |May low C = 3 |Jun low C = 7 |Jul low C = 10 |Aug low C = 9 |Sep low C = 6 |Oct low C = 2 |Nov low C = -2 |Dec low C = -5 |year low 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=167.6 |Feb precipitation mm=132.1 |Mar precipitation mm=161 |Apr precipitation mm=91.8 |May precipitation mm=54 |Jun precipitation mm=64.2 |Jul precipitation mm=76.8 |Aug precipitation mm=89.2 |Sep precipitation mm=128.4 |Oct precipitation mm=140.1 |Nov precipitation mm=136.8 |Dec precipitation mm=150.5 |year precipitation mm= <!-- Mandatory fields, source --> |source 1= Norwegian Meteorological Institute<ref>{{Cite web |title=Weatheronline |url=http://sharki.oslo.dnmi.no/portal/page?_pageid=73,39035,73_39080&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL}}</ref> |source 2= Weatheronline climate robot<ref>{{Cite web |title=Weatheronline climate robot 1996-2020 (average high and low) |url=https://www.weatheronline.co.uk/weather/maps/city?LANG=en&PLZ=_____&PLZN=_____&WMO=01122&CONT=euro&R=0&LEVEL=162®ION=0004&LAND=NO&MOD=tab&ART=TMX&NOREGION=1&FMM=1&FYY=1996&LMM=12&LYY=2020}}</ref> |date=March 2021 }} {{Weather box |collapsed=yes |location = Mosjøen 1961-90 |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan high C = -5 |Feb high C = -4 |Mar high C = 0 |Apr high C = 5 |May high C = 10 |Jun high C = 13 |Jul high C = 18 |Aug high C = 17 |Sep high C = 12 |Oct high C = 7 |Nov high C = -3 |Dec high C = -6 |Jan mean C = -5.7 |Feb mean C = -4.5 |Mar mean C = -1.6 |Apr mean C = 2.4 |May mean C = 7.6 |Jun mean C = 11.6 |Jul mean C = 13.4 |Aug mean C = 12.8 |Sep mean C = 8.6 |Oct mean C = 4.6 |Nov mean C = -1.4 |Dec mean C = -4.2 |Jan low C = -9 |Feb low C = -10 |Mar low C = -8 |Apr low C = 0 |May low C = 4 |Jun low C = 7 |Jul low C = 12 |Aug low C = 10 |Sep low C = 5 |Oct low C = 2 |Nov low C = -7 |Dec low C = -10 |precipitation colour= green |Jan precipitation mm= 186 |Feb precipitation mm= 135 |Mar precipitation mm= 150 |Apr precipitation mm= 99 |May precipitation mm= 79 |Jun precipitation mm= 80 |Jul precipitation mm= 100 |Aug precipitation mm= 116 |Sep precipitation mm= 191 |Oct precipitation mm= 230 |Nov precipitation mm= 181 |Dec precipitation mm= 198 |source 1 = <ref>{{Cite web |title=Mosjøen average conditions - base period 10 last years |url=http://www.storm.no/vaer/Mosjøen/klima |access-date=3 March 2011 |publisher=Storm Weather Center}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Normaler for Vefsn kommune (1961-1990) |url=http://retro.met.no/observasjoner/nordland/normaler_for_kommune_1824.html?kommuner |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110404090557/http://retro.met.no/observasjoner/nordland/normaler_for_kommune_1824.html?kommuner |archive-date=4 April 2011 |access-date=3 March 2011 |publisher=Meterologisk institutt}}</ref> |date=August 2010 }}
