Many people are well-known of Finland and its scorching summers
As this year’s recent heatwave in July showed, Finland and scorching summers are well-known. Finns went to the shore as the mercury soared to 33 degrees Celsius, forcing several businesses to turn off their air conditioning. In spite of the frequent occurrence of heatwaves in northern Finland, this one was particularly scorching. Despite their popularity, high summer temperatures serve as a stark warning from our planet.
In addition to enjoying the beach or lounging in the air conditioning during heat waves, perhaps we should think about the bigger picture and do more to raise awareness of the problem.
