Where to find sun from Oslo
Oslo is milder than its latitude because of the fjord, and it is still a Scandinavian winter: short days, cold nights, and a summer that is pleasant rather than hot.
What you can reach
About 2 hours by car: Fredrikstad (about 1 h), Skien (about 1 h 30).
Further, still inside 5 hours: Gothenburg (about 3 h 45), Bergen (about 4 h 15), Linköping (about 4 h 45), Örebro (about 3 h 45), Stavanger (about 4 h 15).
Inside a 4-hour door-to-door flight, and too far for that drive: Hamburg, Koszalin, Malmö, Klaipėda. Four hours door to door from Oslo is still northern Europe. Book it for a city, not for warmth.
Car times are the straight-line estimate SunFinder starts from (~70 km/h), before a routed drive. A mountain road or a ferry takes longer. The flight circle is the same 4-hour limit the tool uses.
When to stay
The mountains inland are colder. Gothenburg and the south coast are a long drive through the same season. In summer a cabin weekend is the point, weather included. In winter the sun is a flight.
Crossing the water
Ferries to Denmark and Germany exist. They buy a city break on the same North Sea, not a warmer weekend.
