Russian bases

First, news about Russian bases near Finland.

Russian bases are focusing more than ever on the war in Ukraine.

Military expert Marko Eklund says that the bases near Finland now pose no threat to Finland because they are focused on Ukraine.

Climate change in Finland

Now news about climate change in Finland.

Climate change is warming Finland faster than many other countries.

The average global temperature rose by 1.5 degrees Celsius last year. In Finland, the average temperature rose by 3.4 degrees Celsius.

Warm years have increased in Finland in the 2000s.

Last summer, Finland had over 70 days of heat. That’s more than ever before.

Climate change is warming Finland faster than many other countries.

Globally, climate change has increased the frequency of serious natural phenomena, such as floods. In Finland, precipitation may increase as the climate warms.

Flooding in streets or cities may increase, says meteorologist Pauli Jokinen.

“When temperatures rise in the summer, and there may then be more water vapor, then it rains heavily. It is also necessary to prepare for urban flooding and problems caused by heavy rain in Finland.”

Finally, winter news from the weekend.

The first Finnish championships of the ski season were held in Imatra over the weekend.

The race weekend was important for many skiers. The main goal of the season is the World Championships in Trondheim. They are in 6 weeks.
