Editing Lindesnes (section)

==Geography==
Lindesnes is a coastal municipality, with a long stretch of coastline to the south. It borders [[Lyngdal]] municipality to the west, [[Evje og Hornnes]] to the north, and [[Kristiansand]] and [[Vennesla]] to the east. The [[Lindesnes Lighthouse]] stands on the southernmost point of the mainland of [[Norway]], nearly {{convert|1700|km}} southwest of [[Knivskjellodden]], the northernmost point of mainland Norway. The southern coast of Lindesnes is rugged and includes several fjords such as the [[Snigsfjorden]] and [[Grønsfjorden]] as well as many islands such as [[Svinør]]. The interior of the municipality follows the [[Audnadalen]] valley through which the river [[Audna]] flows south into the Snigsfjorden.

===Climate===
Lindesnes has a temperate [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Cfb]]). The weather station has been recording since January 1863, and is situated near the Lindesnes lighthouse on a peninsula protruding into the sea. It is the southernmost mainland point in Norway. 
The all-time high temperature is {{convert|27.3|°C}} recorded August 1975; the all-time low is {{convert|-18.1|°C}} recorded in January 1987. The five months May - September have not seen any overnight freeze, with coldest low {{convert|0.6|°C}} in May 1981 (data since 1954).
