The weather in Molde can be a persistent headache, with 1,700 mm of annual rainfall and 150 rainy days on average. While the city is home to five-time league champions Molde FK, whose 11,249-capacity Aker Stadion hosts the team's matches, the bureaucracy involved in daily life is a significant hassle. With a population of around 1,000 members, the city may appeal to diehard football fans, but offers little else to draw in the average expat.
