About one third of the respondents both in Oslo and Stavanger say that the weather is important for choice of transport mode on their journey to work, not so many claims that weather influence the mode choice on shopping trips. Precipitation, rain and snow, influences more than temperature and wind. However, wind has stronger effect in Stavanger than in Oslo. Both for walking and cycling precipitation is more important than temperature, e.g while more than 60 percent accept to walk (2-3 km) in cold weather (<–10 oC) with no precipitation, this percentage is halved with showers at the same temperature. This is some of the results from a survey carried out in Oslo and Stavanger in October and November 2015 with about 1000 respondents from each city.
