Finland Breaks 50-Year-Old Heat Record, Hits 14 Days Above 30C
Finland is currently experiencing a long spell of very warm weather!
The country has broken a weather record, with temperatures staying above 30 degrees Celsius for 14 days straight.
This beats the old record from over 50 years ago!
Scientists say that this type of warm weather might happen more often in the future because of global warming.
However, they also say the current event can't be directly blamed on climate change without more research.
Finland experienced its longest period of consecutive days with temperatures above 30C.
The record was set with 14 consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 30C.
The previous record was 13 consecutive days set in 1972.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute reported the record.
Experts suggest that global warming may make such warm periods more frequent.
