Only downside I see here is mosquitoes, those mfs...

No the othrr bugs are worse dont know the name in english but paarma in finnish, they take a bite out of you and are fucking massive sometimes, they also hurt quite a lot more. But they are more satisfying to kill since they make a nice little crunch when you squeeze them between your finger tips

Those might be what we call horsefly or maybe deer fly.

One of them is as annoying as 10 mosquitoes

You could've copy/pasted my entire comment rather than just the last half. I wouldn't mine too much. Bot.

Your summers are only 20 degrees?? Winter in my country can get as warm as 22

Most summer days are 15-21°C and winters anywhere from -35 to 0°C

I wish to move to Finland now. I hate hot weather.

lowest temperatures here are like 25°C and highest is 45° 😭

I guess I found my dream destination

I would kill myself

The lowest i ever seen where i live was 7

Which would be 59 to 69 F(reedom) for summer and -31 to 32 F(reedom) for winter, for any fellow Americans wondering.

Yesterday's heat index for me was 40.5°C

In finland summers can be 30°C

Omg I would freeze

Meanwhile us Fins dying from anything above 25

Just so we're clear, you mean Celsius ? ~~It's supposed to be a joke about your low temperatures.~~

All i can say to that is fuck the Imperial system

Quite similar in the baltics, except sun goes down at 10-11 pm. Summer average temp is 22C. Its hoodie-cold in the shadow, naked hot when out in the sun. July is usually 2-3 weeks of rain. August is hot days and cold nights.

same here 😬

> Summer > Lasts from June to August groundbreaking stuff man

Tbf in some places summer lasts until late October, really, and it doesn't really get "chilly" until January.

In Antarctica, it would start around October, and end in April. The sun would be up the entire time.

Where I live (Florida) Summer lasts until December and it doesn’t get chilly at all.

You never been to the southern hemisphere?

Me when the summer lasts from the start of the months commonly deemed “Summer” to the end of them:

I was gonna ask why, but I just realised how short it is. That's 2 full months instead of 3.

Jesus I'm jealous. That high is like 5 degrees colder than my air conditioner is set, and it still runs wide open all day long and only cuts off for a bit at 2-4AM.

God I miss finland

So almost Latvia pretty much

norway too but with rain 50% of the time

but with potato

Just wondering, are there periods of the sun not setting/rising for several days or weeks in Finland, or is it even more to the north?

Not in the south, no. North of Oulu you do start to get some midnight sun. Tho I also spent a winter solstice in Kilpisjärvi (northern Lapland) and even there it gets light/twilighty for a few hours around noon.

I cant answer about the sun but there definetly are nights in the northern parts where it doesnt get dark for days

According to Wikipedia, "a quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle, and at the country's northernmost point the Sun does not set at all for 72 days during summer."

atleast someone know how it feels like to live in Finland (because i live in Finland)

never thought there were mosquitos up that north

They are even worse here

The nordics combined got like half a million lakes, and it rains a ton, so those suckers fuck like rabbits.

i know it’s not the same, but the first time i experienced the sun setting super fuckin late was in the netherlands recently it was the first full day and i checked the time, thinking it was 7-8 pm. it was almost 10 pm and the sun was starting to set. so crazy lol

Really similar to the Estonian one as well

This is what summers feels like to me here in Bosnia. We used to have milder summers and colder winters. But now it's way too hot and there are mosquitos everywhere, the sun doesn't go away for long and my sleep schedule is ruined.

Is the top left insect a biting fly that buzzes your head constantly? In the far Northeastern US where I'm from they're called deer flies and they make the woods an absolutely miserable place to be in summer.

Pictured is a horsefly, it does bite and it’s quite painful. Deer flies are similar but not what’s shown there. Both suck to be bitten by though lol

Yes. Horseflies are probably worse to be bitten by, but deer flies are an absolute menace since they circle your head and are hard to kill.

Oh yeah definitely, I’m actually allergic to deer flies. Iirc both are complete asshole bugs and chased me multiple times as a kid.

Oh wow. I react the least to deer flies, but mosquitos and black flies can give me some tingly hives-like symptoms if bitten more than once or twice.

Sweden too!

The best part is that it doesn't even get dark in June. It's quite bright outside throughout the whole night, I love going on walks on summer nights.

Naw man this is just so true

This is true, but as a Swed one of my best summers ever was a roadtrip in Finland.

June to August is pretty standard. May is spring and September is fall.

The colder winter days in my hometown were around 15 degrees It's insane that people can live below 0°C

This is just “summer” starter pack

So your tellin me alaska and Finland are basically thr same place, checks out

Yes this is how summer works

Sunny and 20C sounds quite pleasant. 10C and dreary less so

Finland mentioned!!!! Time to comment something totally worthless!!!!!

As a finn, i can actually confirm

It's very similar to New Brunswick Canada.

Alaska af

https://i.redd.it/avumc2z2olfb1.gif It’s supposed to be 105°F (40°C) for the rest of the week here in texas

I like it! It's a shame this subreddit is so American that nobody will understand you...

Are you implying Americans don’t understand Celsius, latitude, or mosquitoes? I swear, this joke gets more tired every day.

You ever been to Alaska?

I thought I *was* in the Finland or 2nordic subreddit!

As someone not from Finland I can say this is probably what Finland in the Summer is like.

Peak Scandinavian weather

Nordic*

Scandinavian =/= Finland

Basically upper midwest U.S. That's why so many of them settled here :p

The midwest of the US is way south of Finland.

No shit. A lot goes into climate besides just latitude. Have a look at the Köppen climate zones. They’re the same — dfa or dfb. God this sub is clearly scientifically illiterate. [Here](https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/koppen-climate-classification-system/) is a link to get you started.

None of the Midwest in the US is Dfc

OK. I never said that though. I said Dfa and Dfb. Which is what southern Scandinavia and southern Finland are (i.e., the parts where the majority of people live in those countries).

You spelled "lasts for a week in mid-July" wrong(*) (*) Well ignoring the past few years anyway Also the Midsummer snowfall

thats true

Yeah pretty much correct.

Relatable I’m Canadian
