[edit] Climate

"The climate on Stord is rainy, but ther can also be a lot of sun sometimes too. At wintertime there is rarely mutch snow, and the temperature is around 0°C (about 30°F). At sumertime the temperature is between 20°C to 40°C."

The last sentence seems wrong to me. Having lived in Stord for more than 20 years, I have experienced 40°C maybe 1 or 2 times, and less than 10°C in summer many times. Is it possible to find official statistics that we can link to, or should the sentence be removed? Ahy1 12:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

As noone has come up with real climate data, I have removed the text. Ahy1 16:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to Stordøya.

"In addition to the southern part of the Stord island, the municipality includes the islands of Huglo, Stordøya og Føyno." I don't really see the point in this link, and i suggest we remove it. CrazyChip 22:03, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. These articles could (and probably should) be created, and these red links offer an incentive to do so. __meco 08:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Oky, i can agree to that(after browsing thru some link guidelines, etc..) but i still think the name is confusing. Being norwgian i can understand that the name "Stordøya" means Stord island, but it's not actually called "Stordøya". Wouldn't it be better to link this to "Stord (island)" insted of a loosly used norwegian term for the island.? CrazyChip 10:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps. There are still quite a few paradoxes with regards to Norwegian place names around. __meco 10:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
