Blueberry and lingonberry. Restaurants. Lahti gang fight. Tuesday’s weather.

Blueberry and lingonberry

Initially, the topic is the berry harvest.

The blueberry and lingonberry harvest is good this year.

Blueberry pollination was successful in the southern and central parts of the country. The Natural Resources Institute Finland reports that there are many blueberries, especially in southern Finland.

In much of the country, blueberries are already ripe and ready to be picked.

The lingonberry harvest is also coming along well across the country. However, the berries are still unripe. Lingonberries are often picked in August-September.

Blueberries and lingonberries are growing well this year.

In Finland, anyone can pick berries from the forest. It is everyone’s right.

Restaurants

Then the topic is restaurants.

The restaurant industry is doing badly. The situation is worse than ever before.

Last year, restaurants filed for bankruptcy over 300 times, a record number.

More restaurants were also closing than opening, a level that has never been seen before.

The restaurant industry is doing badly right now.

The restaurant industry is struggling because the economy is in a slump and prices have risen. The coronavirus pandemic has also made operations difficult.

Lahti gang fight

Finally, the topic is violence.

A gang fight took place in Lahti on Saturday. Police arrested nearly 50 people.

The brawlers were fans of two football teams. FC Lahti and HJK were playing later that day.

Some of the fighters had their faces covered. They also threw flares and broke places.

Police arrested dozens of people in a gang fight in Lahti over the weekend.

Football clubs and the Finnish Football Association condemn the violence.

FC Lahti and HJK fans have also fought before.

Tuesday weather

Still a weather forecast.

The sun is shining in the southern and central parts of the country. The temperature is around 25 degrees.

It is cloudy and cooler in Lapland.
