Unprecedented heat, fuelled by climate change, hits Nordic nations
The Guardian
|August 02, 2025
Cold Nordic countries are being seared by "truly unprecedented" heat, as hot weather strengthened and lengthened by carbon pollution continues to hit northern Europe.
A weather station in the Norwegian part of the Arctic Circle recorded temperatures above 30C (86F) on 13 days in July, while Finland has seen three straight weeks with 30C heat.
It is the longest streak in data going back to 1961, and 50% longer than the previous record.
"Truly unprecedented heatwave still in full swing with maximum today about 32-33C," said Mika Rantanen, of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, on social media. "Even the Arctic regions... have seen three weeks above 25C, and may rival tomorrow their August heat records."
