Finland remains one of Europe's coolest countries as heavy rain looms
Finland will enjoy another spell of warm and sunny weather over the coming days, but temperatures remain well below those seen across much of Europe, where many regions continue to experience heat of around 30 degrees Celsius or more.

We had gone to Zurich and Paris in August a couple of years ago and it was so damn hot. There was no AC either in the trams in Zurich. We were travelling in a greenhouse! When taking a seat we tried to sit in the area away from where the sunlight was direct.
No such problems here.

The national government also doesn’t recognize heat waves as “notified” disasters, meaning they can’t trigger financial assistance under the country’s disaster-management legislation.
As a result, whatever measures are taken tend to be short term and reactive. Temporary measures like school closures ordered by the education department or oral rehydration solution stockpiling orders by health departments are being repeated each year. But these measures don’t do anything to build structural resilience for cities to adapt to worsening heat conditions.
