1/2 Hello World!

It's Finland calling!

Here, up in the North, you know, #Lapland, #ArcticCircle, reindeers, Santa Claus etc.

For the 3rd week, this is how the #weather is like in here. The #heat limit here is 25 °C.

Today yet another record was broken - it has been 19 days that the #temperature has been above 30 °C somewhere in #Finland. And tomorrow it'll be 20 since this map is for tomorrow afternoon.

Think #ClimateChange isn't real?

Well, think again.

2/2 Hello World!

It's #Finland updating, because the toot above went sort of viral.

Yesterday there was a new #temperature record for this summer in Oulu, in the north Finland, 32,6 °C.

The number of days with over 30 °C is now 20, and will grow at least to 22, because the #HeatWave continues in most of the country.

Here in the south coast where I am, it has started to ease. It's 10.30 AM and 23 °C, not 28 as it has been for weeks, PHEW!.

I read somewhere that reindeers at northern Finland are suffering of lack of water
And I think that the owners of reindeers are not able to do anything about it. Because reindeers are all over the forests they can't just bring way to the animals

@artomelaranta Yes, I read an article about this, too, and that, too, is just horrendous.

And I bet some of the owners just let them die. Government pays for the "damage" if I understand correctly

@artomelaranta Yes, they don't even bother. Because, yes, there would be ways to get water in some parts of the forests where at least some of the reindeers could get it, but no.

You are absolutely correct
