Then there's the Høvringen station. The coordinates point to the roof of this sewage facility. There's a warning sign saying they regularly will be burning gas coming up through pipes in the ground.

It's hard to tell the exact location of the weather station, whether it's actually on that roof or not. It does read extremely high average temperatures however, both during the day and night, despite being just a stone's throw away from the sea.
I'm mostly just disappointed that despite Trondheim getting like 5 different new stations in the last decade, Trondheim still doesn't have a good station to represent it. The vast majority of Trondheim and its population is above 80m ASL though so in the regard the Voll station is a good station for representing the average climate. But they need a proper and reliable station at low altitude too.
If I were Meteorologisk Institutt, I'd keep the Voll station and Skjetlein station, move the Ranheim station to any of the larger green spaces nearby, and change the Lade station for a station in Gløshaugen to represent the city center. They've already got a sun recorder there so why not put a temperature station there as well. It'd be a great UHI station placement.
