It is near the Atlantic Ocean, so it is warmer and sometimes colder, it is far away from the equator so it's cold, and the mountains make it cold too.

Factors that Regulate the Climate

Trondheim is 63 degrees N latitude, in the high latitudes high pressure area. It's topography is mountainous and it is near the Norwegian Sea to the West. It is humid, due to being at sea. Mild winds form North where there is higher pressure. http://www.uwmc.uwc.edu/geography/100/koppen_web/koppen_map.htm

Geology

Tectonic Plate Boundary Near Trondheim

Trondheim is located on the North American Plate about 743 km (460 miles) from a plate boundary.

Rocks that Lie Under Trondheim

Trondheim is part of an allochthon, or terrane, coming from the greek words "allo" meaning other, and chthon meaning earth. It was carried over thousands of miles of sea by subduction and added onto the continental core of the Eurasian plate. 7.3 kilometers away is Grakallen, another terrane mountain.
