Can someone ELI5 why it varies vertically across Scandinavia?
The Scandes, a mountain range, runs north from southern Norway along the border between Norway and Sweden. Cloud formation is much more likely on the west side of the mountains, because of all the humid air blowing in from the North sea. The sun doesn't shine through an overcast sky.
