A heat wave is plaguing the northernmost parts of Europe – the World

After the hottest month of June in the history of meteorological statistics in Finland and in some parts of Sweden, Sunday’s temperatures are bordering on absolute records in the Greater North of Europe. Temperatures there vary between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius, AFP reported.

In Kevo, just north of Finland, 33.5 degrees Celsius were recorded. This is the highest temperature recorded in this part of the country, from a record of 34.7 degrees Celsius in 1914.

Nationally, June was the warmest month in Finland since similar statistics began in 1844. The average temperature was 16.5 degrees Celsius, improving the June record set in the 1950s.

In neighboring Sweden, June was again the warmest month ever recorded in Stockholm (average 19.3 degrees Celsius). Thus, the records from 2018 and 2019 were improved in this direction.

At the national level, June 2021 was the third warmest month of June since such statistics were kept.
In Norway, 34 degrees Celsius were recorded yesterday in Saltdal, in a county close to the Arctic Circle. This is the highest temperature reported in the country since the beginning of the year. It is only 1.6 degrees Celsius lower than the absolute national record.

Figuratively speaking, “tropical nights” have been registered in many parts of Norway. This means that temperatures do not fall below 20 degrees Celsius. / BTA
