A live hour-by-hour NO4 price board with Arva's grid charge added and the state's strømstøtte price cap already applied — so the cheap-hour savings shown are real, not the seven-times-inflated figure a bare spot price would suggest. Anyone on Norgespris is told plainly that none of it changes their bill.

Three pages, and one of them is a board rather than a read. "Tides at Reine" brings Kartverket's official Norwegian tide predictions to the village — today's highs and lows and the week ahead, in metres above the chart datum, with the permanent station Kartverket derived them from named on the page along with the adjustment it applied. Three things it says plainly: a tide height is not the Moskstraumen, wind and pressure push the real water above the prediction, and the passenger boat to Vindstad and Kjerkfjord sails to its timetable — the tide only decides what you meet at the landing. "Is the E10 Clear?" is a neighbour board, and it exists because nothing better is available to us. Statens vegvesen decides whether the road is open and publishes that on its own map, which we link on every render; what it does not publish is a feed we are allowed to read, and we checked again this week. So: tap a stretch — Å to Reine, Reine to Hamnøy, Hamnøy to Ramberg, Ramberg to Leknes — and say whether it was clear, slow or blocked. Reading needs nothing. Posting needs a free account, which is what keeps the board honest. And the page says the thing a sparse board has to say: a stretch with no reports is not a clear stretch, it is a stretch nobody has spoken about. "Wind & Gusts" is the next week of wind on the Beaufort scale for Reine and the E10 through Moskenes — the thing that shuts the bridges, the ferry and the fjord crossing. It also carries a correction to how this kind of page talks. The warning built into it was written for a town where damaging wind arrives as a thunderstorm, which is not what happens at 68° north. Reine's page now says what a ten-kilometre weather model actually misses here: terrain. Wind funnelled between peaks or falling off a ridge can be far stronger in one place than the average, and one bridge can be impassable while the village is merely blowy.

Reine sits on Moskenesøya, reached by one road — the E10 — that closes for rockslides, avalanches and wind. A new board reads Norway's official NVE/Varsom warnings for Moskenes: the daily landslide and flood danger levels all year, and the avalanche danger through the winter season, in plain words. It's the hazard forecast, not the live road status — so it sits alongside Statens vegvesen's live E10 map and the emergency and ferry channels, and never implies a green day means the road is open.

The town now has a small drawing beside its name: split cod drying on the wooden hjell racks below the peaks, the working heart of the Lofoten winter.

Where to park and find a toilet in the village — the paid car parks and how to pay them (one takes a bank card if you don't have Vipps), the free fallback and free toilet down by the Moskenes ferry, and where a campervan can empty its tanks. Every spot is placed from OpenStreetMap.

A new board shows the next ferries and buses leaving Reine, straight from Entur, Norway's national journey planner: the Moskenes–Bodø car ferry, the E10 buses, and the little boat across the Reinefjord to Vindstad and Kjerkfjord. Each time is marked as either a real-time estimate or the timetable, and there's a plain reminder that a car on the ferry still needs a booking the board can't see.

Reine sits almost under the auroral belt, but a clear answer to "should I go out tonight?" means weighing three things at once. The new tool puts them together for the nights ahead: NOAA's space-weather model for how active the lights are, the cloud forecast over the genuinely dark hours, and how much real darkness there is — which this far north swings from no darkness at all under the midnight sun to the deep dark of the polar night. It is honest that a good reading is a chance worth checking, never a promise, and it points to the official NOAA forecast.

A daylight page works out the midnight sun, the polar night and today's hours of light from Reine's place on the globe; a guide written from residents' voices covers parking, camping, the trails and drones; and a month-by-month planner covers the light, the skrei fishery, Reinebringen and the crowds.
