- Van Life in Severe Weather. Thunderstorm ASMR storm with torrential heavy rain, lightning and thunder finally catches up with me in the arctic ocean. Extreme weather both in summer and winter. Plenty of ASMR rain on van sounds and scary thunder booming. I am forced to seek shelter in my cozy van. lol. After tropical hot extreme weather the storms finally hunt me down again as usual, like I am used to with my blizzards, snow storms and freezing temperatures from the winter up here in the north. I also have time for some cozy time with cooking and coffee in the van, that I have made even more cozy. This is my full time van life living in the arctic.

My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada but with a diesel engine and manual transmission.

Surviving my 2nd Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold which includes:
This is my complete second winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in November I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from November to April, with snow storms, blizzards, extreme cold, extreme snowfall, slippery roads and some amazing winter beauty as well.
I also show you what I learn as I go from my second winter in the van.

Do you have RainX or similar glass treatment over there?
You'll be amazed by how much it helps visibility during the rain, not to mention that dirt and ice don't stick as well after you apply it
how dare you ask for additional money for "plus" videos. done with you...
I fall asleep every time I watch a video, it's so soothing and I enjoy it ❤
I really enjoy thunderstorms. Always have. I live in eastern North Carolina and have grown up with hurricanes. I’m getting prepared in February because it’s costly. I don’t pray for them, but when they come I enjoy them. I don’t like that sometimes people lose their lives or homes but I have grown up with them and all the damage they bring. I am 76, so I have lived through the worst.
Thanks for watching
These storm videos just make things seem sooo pesceful and relaxing. And noone does storm videos in a camper better than jarl. Always makes you feel as though youre there also
Awesome, thanks!
Great storm Jarl!! Stay safe my friend!
Thanks, you too my friend, appreciate it very much!
Thanks! That was an awesome video. I've always loved storms, especially when hunkered down in a cozy place. And being in a van in such a spectacular place watching it is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Carrie🙏
Brought back great memories of my time up in Nordkqpp and Hammerfest and the midnight sun in May this year. Thanks for another fabulous video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Artic is truly incredible and what a gift you give us to be able to see it in winter and summer..it just captivated me...Thank you for another amazing video Jarl...many blessings and safe travels
Thank you dear friend!
Amazing views once again! Particularly the ones at 35:20 and 36:15, so spectacular they look like incredible paintings. So awesome to see you're living your best life. Free to travel and explore where your heart takes you. Thank you as always for the amazing content 🙏💯👌
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks!
Thank you so very much Mark!!
Probably the most spectacular scenery you've documented so far, and that's saying something. Sensational sunset and what incredible storms. So professionaly shot too. Great work. 😁👍
Thank you so much!!
Very cool how you slow down the lighting and the midnight sun was gorgeous,,thank you for your videos, always
Glad you enjoyed it
I watch you every night and really enjoy what you show.
Awesome, thanks for doing that!
Greetings from The Bahamas. This is so lovely. So refreshing. I love your scenery. Enjoy yourself. We only live once in this body ❤
Greetings! Thanks for watching!
Last Spring I spent a week visiting your lovely islands. I hope to go back in a few years.
Ive been very lucky to visit Artic Norway many times and calm or storm it really is breath takingly beautiful😊
it is!
Fantastic again Jarl. This one might be my favourite episode yet. Those sunsets over the fjords! 😍 I can't imagine how great it must be to be watching a storm in that environment from the comfort of your van. You're one lucky fella to live that life. More power to you.
Thank you so much my friend!
Greetings from Turkey, my brother. I watch the videos with great pleasure. May the ending be clear.
Same…. Hello from Ireland 🧐🇮🇪👍🏻
Thank you!!
Thank you to Turkey and Ireland!
fun starts at 41:38...wish i could experienced that scary storm in the comfort of a cozy van like you do...looping this video to help me fall asleep
I do the same thing!
Cool, keep looping, it helps my video a lot!
Thanks for doing that!
The footage of the midnight sun was absolutely incredible Jarl!
Thanks Kevin!
Your vids are awesome cause you don't necessarily have to watch them to enjoy them. Listening to the wind and rain is just as enjoyable.
Haha, that is very cool, loop em and love em🥳
rain/wind/bed/book and earlier food= cozy and that is the way to relax. good vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Magnificent video. My cat slept next to me while listening to the rain storm. I bet the sea air blowing through the van smells delightful. You really know how to live. A 10M mansion wouldn't even compare to the van's coziness and warmth in my opinion. Your delicious looking meals are award winning. That big cinnamon bun needed a cup of coffee, though. However, still looked tasty.
Haha! Do you notice he never eats with his coffee, something I find so hard to do 😅
Thank my friend, I can not have coffee in the evening, wouldnt get any sleep:-)
@@pollyangel8564 Come to think of it, you're right. After all, "It's the most important meal of the day."
@@janetnewsome6891 😂🤣😂
The meal is the coffee, the coffee is the meal!
Norwegian Explorer you live in a truly beautiful country with at times extreme weather conditions as at times depicted in your video's keep them coming thank you .
I will, thank you!
That midnight sun was so beautiful! Your eyes and vision bless us. Thank you, and the rain and lightning are a treasure to hear and behold. I wish I could have a copy of that midnight sun framed and on my wall. Award winning video, you are a video master. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so very much Candy!
Dear Jarl, your video footage keeps getting better and better... The thunder and the lightning where amazing!
Thank you Nikos!!
High from Canada.Amazing shots of the storm
Oh gosh, I watch all videos, and feel so relaxed whilst taking in the absolutely stunning scenery you are blessed with up there. The lightening and. Storm were beautiful. Your video work and backing music is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful life with us.😊
Thank you so much Beril, really appreciate it!
🌩The water is always so beautiful where you go
🌩I dub you a storm chaser... sort of ☺
🌩45:02 Sure is a heavy storm.... the best type
🌩☕ I made sure I had a cup of coffee to watch the storms 😉
🌩Some volcanic rock there flowing into the water
🌩I love the low hanging clouds over the mountains, they dont seem to be moving ?
🌩Nice Jarl. Really enjoyed this one. Top quality as usual ;)
Thank you my friend!
I love storms
Me too!
Recien te descubri...dios mio tus videos son terapia para mi,me imagino que estoy viviendo todo lo que publicas que me resulta todo taaaan hermoso,gracias por tus videos@
Thank you so much and welcome!
Just when I think ur videos can’t improve……they do. I LOVED this place n time with u friend. I would go swimming n lay n the sun then sleep n the storms. I don’t remember a good peaceful sleep n so long. I think if I had been there I would’ve slept n slept n slept. I love ur added coziness.
LOVED the shots of the lightening. Yesterday I was mowing n I watched a storm ease n with winds n lightning. I stayed out there still mowing coz I wasn’t scared. Of course my Jewish mother would’ve thrown a massive fit if she had known. But I stayed rite up till it began to pour. Weather is so fascinating how it changes n seconds.
I seriously would love a house n this area. The views r too beautiful to describe.
Thank u our friend. Thank u for ur efforts n taking us with u. My heart has taken many hard hits n I am more sad frustrated exhausted broken than I have been n my entire life. Loss of my son husband dad n job has left me n a place I can’t explain. But G-D is still with me n u allowed me an hour of going to another place to see Shane n close my eyes n the sounds of those rains.
Jarl I wonder if u have any idea how special u r. I r to us ur fans. U r to ur family n friends. U r to me. N most all u r to G-D. He created such an awesome human being with SEVERE talents ! I love u n The Grey warrior. OH n the drone !!!
👍🙏❤️

Tj I lost my son last year, his heart tore. The Lord has got me through. Take care!
Thank you dear friend, I am thinking about you and keeping you in my heart, you will get through this one as well. Thanks for all the kindness and love!🫶
I am so sorry for your loss Candy❤️
Thanks!
Thank you, higly appreciated!
Hello Jarl :-) Well, finally a storm and relaxation :-) Wonderful weather for fans of the elements :-) Soon we will all be covered by storms and blizzards of emotions in the Arctic...
Yes, thanks
Those were some intense storms! The lightning was amazing, just be careful out in that kind of weather. I enjoyed watching the adventure Jarl! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you Scooter!
Encore bravo pour ce merveilleux moment
on vous suit toujours avec autant d attention et de passion
avec cette fois ci de magnifiques images sans neige
et toujours ce generique qui nous invite a l evasion
Thank you friends!
Fab!!!
Thanks Rob!
Intro is epic
Glad you think so!
Lovely storm footage! Thanks man.
Thanks kevin!
Another great video Jarl. Very cozy!
Thank you!
Been watching your videos for a while now and I enjoy them beautiful scenery
Awesome, thank you!
Wow, so breathtakingly beautiful, what a country with unbelievable landscapes. Thank you so much for posting your travels on here, it's so relaxing. ❤
Thanks for watching!
This just shows how quickly the weather can change. That sailboat really lives on the edge! And rain or shine, there are always boats at sea. You made yourself very comfortable in the van. Super cute fake fur on your bench. Great to stare outside for hours in all that coziness. I love that too. The midnight sun will soon be gone. How soon will it be dark again? I'm curious to see what that will look like, I think it will be very gradual. Very curious about your next adventure! Beautiful timelapse and lightning shots, great! Stay safe Jarl. Greetings Marinka
Thanks Marinka, the the weather has turned tropical again and I am currently in Senja, spent some time out in a lovely place outside of Tromsø. I got so much video from this summer yet to make, i just skipped ahead a couple of weeks to release this storm:-) It gets dark fast, and come the end of August one might start to see Northern lights on occasion.
@@NorwegianXplorer My brother is travelling in a couple of weeks to Tromsø with his son. He is planning a trip from Tromsø to Alta, Hammerfest and like icing on the cake, to the Nordkapp. To see the northern lights again, is amazing!! It's so strange to have tropical temperatures in the arctic!
@@MarinkaKlaver Yes, this summer has been special in every way!
Thank you for a wonderful video! Particularly enjoyed the midnight sun sequence ❤🙏☮
Thanks for watching!
Ey up my friend.
Another epic adventure in stunning surroundings. That lightning was epic though the rain that came later not so much ( I hate the rain, lol )
Love it 🙂👍
Rain can be awesome:-)
@@NorwegianXplorer
I worked outside for years in the building trade so grew to hate the wind and rain, I have to disagree with you, lol 😉☔
Oh yeah, i follow you on that, i had several summer jobs as a kid and teenager that was outside, and I hated that too
The photography is stunning! ❤
Thank you!
The most beautiful and serene visuals I’ve ever seen. You’re quiet when it’s time to allow the viewers to take it all in. Thank you for doing a fabulous job. 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
Jarl, I think I’ve run out of superlatives to describe your videos! You’ve definitely outdone yourself with this one. Absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you so much my friend!
I liked the style of your videos, good job and thanks for sharing
Awesome, thank you!
I just love a big storm. Nature unleashing its power.
Me too

Hello, I am a huge fan of your videos and love the beautiful scenes of Norway. I’ve been watching the videos on the TV and I don’t wanna miss anything of the videos so I’ve always had the intentions of commenting after the videos. I’ve always be fascinated with Norway and that part of Europe. I always wondered what the Arctic is like and I’ve seen it through your adventures and the site is spectacular. I love the northern lights which I thought you could only see from Alaska, but I’m glad it’s seen in other parts of the world. Thanks for the videos. They are all beautiful. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you so much! Glad you are watching on tv, that is the best way to take it all in. Yes, we have the northern lights almost constantly through the winter, it is all about the latitude
@@NorwegianXplorer (Jeannette M. Mahan) I live in Florida so no luck seeing the northern lights from here. I have a 55 inch screen TV and my dogs and I watch your videos, quite spectacular. We're in hurricane season now till November. I'm hoping we don't get any hurricanes they can be quite devastating. I'm rescuing a black Labrador mixed from Texas who stole my heart and will be getting him within two weeks. I'm going to meditate now then I'll watch some more of your awesome adventures.
Nice, thank you, good luck with the dog:-)
@@NorwegianXplorer Thank you 🐕🦺🐶🦮🐕🐕🦺
Loving the new coziness install, looks good 🥰
Thank you I like it too:-)
😍the views are beautiful and the storms are relaxing 😊👍🌠🚐💯🌏🌚🌝💦🏞️🌧️🏆⏳😌👋👀great captions of photography too😊😂👀
Thank you!
Not only is this beautiful but it’s so calming soothing to just be there and witteness and enjoy 👀👍🤗
Glad you enjoy it!
36:36 an incredible moment
Thanks!
I LOVE your videos. A city girl from NJ living in ATL! ❤
Awesome, thank you so much from NJ to ATL
From Plum Island, MA, USA: This is another enjoyable video. I especially enjoyed the opening ethereal and haunting soundtrack but also the beautiful and well-chosen sea- and landscapes: the midnight sun is a highlight of this video. The storms in this video and the foggy, misty scenes in earlier videos make it possible to imagine the birth of the Scandinavian myths.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, serene
Thank you!
She can be gentle or she can be fierce. But always such beauty! Thanks, brother.
Life is given to us for living and enjoying each day we're alive on this beautiful earth. Norwegian Xplorer is a perfect example of making each day count ❤️
I hope so, I am lucky and grateful!
😍the views are beautiful and the storms are relaxing 😊👍🌠🚐💯🌏🌚🌝💦🏞️🌧️🏆⏳😌👋👀great captions of photography too😊
Thank you!
Just fantastic 🤩
Thanks!
Heyy Jarl Epic Scenic views the sea looked so beautiful tranquil ,wow that was some rain and the sea got so choppy don't let the wind blow you away lol stay safe
Thank you Sonia!
La naturaleza es increiblemente bella pero tambien de cuidado
indeed
Nature can provide some pretty incredible light shows. I hope no one was injured as I saw some boats going out into the ocean before the lightning hit. Your weather app looked really good with the indication of lightning strike areas. Your second campsite with the island in the background was awesome. The birds flying by seemed to have an enormous wing span. Looked more like pterodactyls. Thanks for sharing Jarl.
Thanks my friend, yes I was a bit surprised about the boats going out in the thunder storm, the small one was probably tourists, and the bigger ones have lightning rods I believe
My favourite of your videos are the ones with dramatic weather, so cosy inside your little hub!
Glad you like them!
There is no better feeling than being in your motor home during a storm.
In fact whenever there was a bad weather alert, I would head for the hills and just sit inside with my dogs , glass of wine and listen to the wind and rain outside
Yeah it is great
Can't imagine anyone living in Norway with high blood pressure. Absolutely stunning!
Haha, yes, not everyone have learned to enjoy this
Stunning! Just stunning! That water was so blue and clear. I love thunderstorms. Just the sound of the thunder and flashes/bolts of lightening. Even when Mother Nature is annoyed, she is beautiful. Safe travels. Loving the sights and sounds from this epic journey!
Omg your videos are so breathtaking, I'd love to be sitting drinking coffee seeing those views ❤
Thank you!
@@NorwegianXplorer absolutely beautiful
I get sleepy even listening, I love this sound and the peace it gives me
Cool!
È sempre un piacere guardare i tuoi video, immagini bellissime e posti stupendi👍👍..complimenti 🙂
Thank you so much!
Nok en fantastisk video, og jeg gleder meg alltid til matlagingen din❤
Haha, tusen takk for det:-)

Awesome! Thank you and welcome!
I really like your videos, they give me peace of mind
I am glad to hear that

You deserve 100k subs man. keep it up.
Thank you, nearly there, how about a million?😊
Wie immer, very nice Video, beautiful Sundowner 🌞🌞🌞
Thank you!
This is fantastic. I love your videos this one especially. Thank you for sharing.🙏
So nice of you
Another beautiful and soothing video, I could listen to that rain all day 😊
Me too! lol!
.................. ! Thank you.
Welcome!
The sound of the rain is sooo relaxing!! ☺️
It really is!
Good vid Jarl, relaxing. Almost sounds like hail on the van. Next time. All good
Thanks Sam, yes the rain was pretty hard
I really enjoy your videos and I love all the scenery I get to see. I am 69 years old with health problems and a widow so I’m not gonna be traveling anywhere so this is the only way I get to see things. And I love watching you cook inside a van. I barely cook inside my apartment. I really should start.
Thank you, so glad you can travel through my videos!
Hi Jarl, Stunning capture of the midnight sun. Have had op to do that a couple times. Not everyday. Hammerfest, music festival? Rock and roll sky. It really does look like the west. Incredible. Bring your own tree. As we say, better make hay while the sun shines. Those ole fellows in the little boats better be getting in. Rough weather.
Yeah I was wondering about that boat going out right as the storm was approaching, the large boats have lightning rods, but not the smaller ones, probably tourists
@@NorwegianXplorer hold the flag pole now they got one. Crazy as hell to be in that another set of statistics
@@samhill3496 Haha, yes indeed, there are a lot of accidents with tourists here
great sound
Hi Jarl, it’s been a very long time since I’ve watch your vids and posted a comment. I watch almost all your hiking vids, enjoyed them immensely. I see you have upped your background music, nicely done. The place you are is so picturesque, and the wildlife was nicely captured. 😊
Thank you Susan, and welcome back!
Feels cozy but its dangerous ❤
Your videos are magnificent. The beauty of Norway is captured by your excellent skills. When i have trouble sleeping i put on one of your vids. Witnessing the power of Nature and knowing you are cozy and warm in your Van gives me immediate relaxation and enables me to return to a restful sleep. You are the perfect cure for the insomniac! Keep up the good work!
Rob McCann
Belleair Bluffs, Florida
Thank you so much Rob! Keep looping the vids:-)
👋Hello there Jarl,
I love your videos & as I always mention, I cannot get enough!
Nature is amazing & what you witnessed was awesome. The changeable weather, was often very wild & intense, albeit still so beautiful to witness.
Nature is it's own unpredictable boss & we humans are @ its peril. We're like the tiny ants, amid a vast, complex & often dangerous planetary system. In the end, it overpowers us.
The sounds within your videos, are always music to my ears. The sound of the heavy wind & rain is quite soothing, in a strange way. Unless, I have my volume turned up to 80 or 90 decibels! lol
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos & as I've stated prior, they don't go unnoticed.
Tusen takk for creating & sharing.
Peace my friend.✌
Thanks my friend!
Thank you for sharing your northern adventures. The visuals that you present are magnificient. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Hola que hermosos lugares como anda que hermosa tormenta divino de ver esos lugares cuidese abrazo desde Mercedes uruguay😊
Thank you!
Safe travels, my friend take care that is some serious weather . Classy content as always
Thank you Neil!
Me & wife helen say what beautiful scenery !
Thanks you two!
Your show is great. Thanks for letting us journey with you. Your video skills fire on cylinders. It is perfect. Just keep doing what you are doing.
Thanks so much for saying that!
First but not essential : I like your T-shirt with the pinetrees. And the cosy sheepfur behind your back. Essential : that incredible midnight-sun, so splendid, so brilliant, but also quite soft nuances of yellow, orange, red, gold . Fantastic to watch from..... your bed ! Haha 😂 Also the blitz-lights you got them so beautifully, spectacular. Pictures and sound of the falling rain dropping of yoyr window are poetic, and incite dreaming..... What a storm ! And what a sound ! What a sky ! A dechained sea, huge waves.... Those men in the little boat are not safe ! - we also in Belgium often have the four seasons in one day ! - left-overs can be herrlich ! A bit of creativity and you have a tasty meal ! " It is good Jarl, to see you always happy, optimist, however the weather may be, you make the best of it, in your cosy van (nevertheless I prefer my cosy appartment hahahaiha 😅 😂!)
Thank you Regine!
Wow ... Amazing part of the world glorious 👍👍👍
Thanks!
