Santa reminds us that the elves team, which makes a gift on the next Christmas, reminds us that the elves team, which makes a gift for the next Christmas, recalls the next Christmas.
Although the Christmas bride does not brief the elves about the danger of the Sun every day, in northern Finns this summer, the temperature has seen a temperature of about 30c for several days.
For Santa, he will stay indoors all day. His bright red costume decorated with fur is very warm.
“I go to swim in the lake in the forest after 18:00 when the weather began to cool,” he said.
Santa’s workshops are adapted to cheerful elasticity in the city of Rovaniemi, but the abnormal warm temperature of the Arctic is a serious problem and scientists point to climate change.
After abnormally cold and rainy spring and early summer, the entire Finland suddenly fell in order of hot weather, including 500 km (310 miles) above the North Pole, including the north of Lapland.
By July 25, Rovani Emi’s heat wave will last for 15 days.
In Finland, the heat wave is defined as a minimum of three consecutive days with a maximum temperature of 25C.
Jaakko Savela of the Finnish Meteorological Institute explains that the temperature of more than 30c is extremely rare and the current heat wave is exception.
“Finally, when Finland Lapland had a similar heat wave, he had a hot wave in 1972.” However, it lasted only 12 to 14 days, depending on the exact position.
“The record is broken.”
It is not only rovaniemi that was caught by burning temperature. Other weather stations at LAPLAND have registered the heat wave for the longest since the record began.
The maximum temperature of the heat wave (31.7c) was measured in two positions, Illy Tone and Suran Sila earlier this week. It is about 10c compared to the season average of La Land.
The heat wave has caused new concerns about the acceleration speed of climate change in the Arctic, which is getting four to five times faster than other Earth.
SAVELA pointed out that this special long heat is not direct by climate change. But he said, “Climate change has affected.
Professor Jeff Weller, Chairman of the Arctic Research Committee of Oulu University, agrees.
The heat wave and extreme weather events in summer and winter have occurred so often that it can only occur as a fundamental change in the climate system.
Weller said, “Daily climate change in the world appears as extreme heat and extreme precipitation.” We have a fingerprint of climate change. “
According to the UN’s climate change, the heat wave is becoming more common due to climate change in which humans are triggered.
As the earth continues to warmer, extreme hot weather will occur more often and more intense.
The extreme heat also affects Lapland’s famous reindeer.
On Christmas, Santa’s sledding fuller, famous reindeer around the world, crosses the forest and polling freely. But as mosquitoes that flourish in hot weather, reindeer now rises to the roads and villages in search of relief.
Professor Weller said, “In the case of reindeer, the only option is higher and windy, but the highest altitude in Lapland, Finland is about 1,000m (3,300 feet).
He added that “reindeers may have to make big barns to provide shades to animals,” because there are more extreme and longer heat -waves in the North Pole.
Struggling is not Santa and his reindeer. LAPLAND is traditionally known as a wonderful tourist destination, but this year, visitors are embarrassed.
Silvia, a tourist of Prague, a visit to Santa’s vacation village in Rovaniemi, said, “This is a super hall-30c killing me, I came to avoid heat.
“I packed the wrong clothes because the weather was much colder. I have a short sleeve T-shirt with me-I wore it every day.”
The day of Rovaniemi is currently 20 hours a day, so the sun is still shining until 23:00. Keep the temperature longer.
The stupid thing in the shadow patch of Santa Park is London’s Adita, which is expected to find a temperature of less than 20c. “I can barely step on even if I go out of the shade.
“Similar things are happening in the UK, but I was very surprised to see this in the Arctic Circle,” she says. “Ice and snow are essential for this amusement park and Lapland.”
Elina, who works at the Santa Post Office, is worried about the future of Lapland’s winter. “I wonder if the heat is now a new normal.”
Santa has an additional problem that needs to wear heavy costumes every day.
Currently he goes outdoors in the evening when the air begins to cool. Otherwise, there is a risk of heat stroke in just 10 minutes.
“Of course, hot summer can be very good for some people, but I prefer cold and eyes,” he says. “Winter is better.”
