OR Finland It is aware of the highest temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, thus breaking a record temperature record for the last 50 years, the country’s meteorological institute announced today.

Mercury amounted to 30.3 degrees Celsius before noon in the Parikala community, eastern Finland, marking that temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius in some parts of the country for 14 consecutive days, breaking the previous 13th record.

“It is the longest time with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius since the launch of data in 1961,” the Finnish Institute wrote in X.

The Scandinavian country currently knows a wave of “extremely long duration”, according to the same source.

The global warming will generally lead to more frequent heat waves, the meteorologist Wil Siskonen stressed at the French News Agency (AFP), but further studies need to be done in order to determine the exact causes of this particular heatwave.

“The heat waves will last longer and they will be more,” according to the scientist.

This record is recorded a year after Lapland, extending to the north of Finland, Norway and Sweden, has experienced its warmest summer of the last 2000 years in 2024, with climate change increasing the likelihood of such hot summer summer.
