Record cold in Finland

This news is from five days ago, but still important.

7 Jan 2016 – Severe cold continues to chill Finland, with temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius across the country—and a new winter low recorded in Muonio, Lapland. Up there the mercury dipped to -41 degrees at 8 am on Thursday.

The cold has also caused delays to train services, and there is a power cut affecting Kilpisjärvi in the far north-west of the country—where temperatures were below -30 degrees on Thursday morning.

The lowest temperature ever recorded in Finland was -51.5 degrees, in 1999 at Pokka, Kittilä.
