Here’s AI’s answer:

“Yes, there is sunlight at midnight in Norway, a phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun, during the summer months in regions above the Arctic Circle. The sun remains visible even at midnight, lasting for several weeks and sometimes months, with the duration dependent on how far north you go. For example, Svalbard experiences it from April to August, while Tromsø sees it from late May to late July.”

Thank you, Steve! Your link corrected my misconception about the climate above the Arctic Circle. I would love to see this phenomenon myself someday.
