Reconstructions of mean July temperature (T jul ) and winter precipitation (P w ) for the last 11/500 years on the Folgefonna peninsula are presented. T jul was reconstructed using pollen-climate transfer functions and P w was reconstructed based on the exponential relationship between mean solid winter precipitation and ablation-season temperature at the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) with a reconstructed former ELA, using T jul as the proxy for ablation-season temperature. The reconstructions from the Folgefonna peninsula suggest that the early Holocene was relatively cool and dry until c. 8000 cal. yr BP, followed by a warm and humid mid-Holocene until c. 4000 cal. yr BP with inferred T jul above 12°C and P w reaching as high as 225% of the present day. Subsequent to c. 4000 cal. yr BP a reduction is seen in both inferred T jul and P w with large fluctuations during the last 500 years. In addition, new calculations of P w from two glaciers (Hardangerjøkulen and Jostedalsbreen) in southern Norway are presented. The results show that P w varied in phase at all glaciers, probably as a response to the same climate forcing factor. During the early Holocene a major shift is suggested between winds from the west and the east
