The region, Finland’s largest by surface, usually hosts records for the nation’s coldest temperatures.
Finland’s northernmost Arctic Lapland region has recorded its hottest temperature for more than a century at 33.6 degrees Celsius (92.5 Fahrenheit), during a heatwave that has been afflicting the entire Nordic country for weeks. The temperature was measured on Monday at Finland’s northernmost Utsjoki-Kevo weather station near the border with Norway by the Finnish Meteorological Institute. The institute said there was only one higher historical measurement reported in Lapland – 34.7 C in the Inari Thule area, in July 1914.
