The next week of wind and gusts at Reine on the Beaufort scale — what closes the road, the ferry and the fjord crossing — with the official channels that make those calls.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Reine and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Wind is what closes things here: the ferry, the exposed stretch of E10 over the bridges, the fjord crossing, the trail. This is the next few days of wind and gusts for Reine, banded on the Beaufort scale — enough to plan a drive, a sailing or a walk around, and not a substitute for the people who actually make those calls.

This page is not a storm warning
The Gulf Stream keeps Reine mild for 68° north, but it buys that mildness with weather: autumn and winter here are wet and very windy, with Atlantic lows arriving one after another. The summer months are the calm ones, which is why a strong-wind day in July reads differently from the same numbers in January.
The stretch of E10 between Reine and Hamnøy is bridges and open water on both sides, and it is the first thing a Reine driver notices in a blow. Wind is one of the three things — with rockslide and avalanche — that shuts the only road, and it is also what stops the Bodø ferry and the little passenger boat across the Reinefjord.
The stone staircase is chained shut for the avalanche season, roughly October to the end of April, and has had extra closures beyond that. Wind on this page says nothing about whether the steps are open or sensible; that is the seasonal closure and the avalanche forecast, not a gust number.
