La Finlandia interrompe nuovamente il record di calore con 16 giorni consecutivi sopra i 30 ° C

Finland recorded its 16th consecutive day of temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius on Sunday, marking the longest streak of such heat since temperature records began in 1961.

Aleksi Lohtander, meteorologist at Yle, said the streak was first extended on Saturday when Parikkala surpassed the 30-degree mark. Other locations across the country were expected to report similar highs by the end of the day.

The previous record, set in 1972, stood at 13 days. This year’s streak has now exceeded that for three consecutive days.

Lapland also saw a separate milestone, with heatwave conditions, temperatures above 25 degrees, continuing for 17 straight days. This is the longest uninterrupted stretch of heat recorded in the region.

On Saturday, Ylitornio recorded 26.2 degrees, while Rovaniemi reached 25.6 degrees. Lohtander said higher temperatures were likely later in the day.

The current spell of hot weather has affected most parts of Finland, with the eastern regions registering the highest daily temperatures. Forecast models show that this pattern is likely to continue into the following week.

Doesn’t Finland have a bunch of cold swamps?  When those heat up longer won’t that cause a lot of issues?

Can confirm, I traveled here to escape the heat.
I was gravely wrong on that account, it’s so fricking hot here.

North of Sweden also un-usually hot.

It’s very strange weather.
