Lapland under extreme heat right now. 34.3°C at Banak, Norway 🇳🇴 This level of heat has never been observed above 70 degrees north in Europe before.
Scandinavia has been in the oven for a while. A very hot June followed by a hot start to July. Widely 10-15°C hotter than average.

While these northern latitudes can get surprisingly hot (much hotter than many people might realise), there has been profound and long-standing records broken here.
A lot of heat records falling all over the place right now.
