The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.
As someone from the village of Røssvoll who’s biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There’s almost 3 whole km between these two places!
Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I’m dying from overheating.
Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)
I like that when you come back with more accurate information it’s to dunk on the illegitimacy of your rival towns weather station.
Mo I Rana doesn’t exist. It’s a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.
That would explain why the town has so many people employed by the government.
Yeah, but skatteetaten is just a plausible cover for what they’re actually doing there. All the skatteetaten jobs have been automated for years.
I agree, especially considering how much the government is hollowing out a mountain for Nasjonalbiblioteket. There’s no way you’d need that much space just for storing some books.
Crazy, I’m in the Southern California high desert and it’s been hotter where you are than where I am. That’s not supposed to happen.
I know that feeling. The first time I’ve seen my state being mentioned in international news was because of the catastrophic floods that happened last year.
Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We’re so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it’s honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.
Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it’s too late to do anything about it
I’m really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don’t care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.
Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you’ve conquered nature, too.
It is the working class vs the 1%, not generation vs generation.
In this circumstance I think it’s both. There is an enormous wealth and income gap between them and us.
I care alot. That’s why I got a vasectomy. Don’t you care your kids? Then dont have them. In the best case scenario, they would lord over wage slaves who would make your kids money. Why would you want that for your kids? And thats the best case…
Of course that means that if humanity does survive you’ve willfully artificially selected the working class to be more submissive and myopic
Just like daddy drops in his drink. … And then he gets maaad.
Once and for all
the part of scandinavia north of the arctic circle can get crazy hot in the summer, because the sun doesn’t set. i think norway has a cooler climate than sweden overall due to the scandes, but when i lived up there my 60s concrete apartment building started heating up so much due to the midnight sun that inside temps didn’t go below 29 degrees for like half of august. the walls were literally radiating heat.
It isn’t just that, there’s also a massive ocean current that brings warm, tropical water up there. It’s also why Atlantic Europe is so warm despite being generally as north or more than frickin’ Montréal where last winter we got 70-80cm of snow in 48hrs.
This is still a massive problem, of course.
well norway is generally cold despite that due to the humidity wicking away the heat. inland is a lot hotter.
Just wait a few years, that warm current will be disrupted and it’ll cool back off. /s
This would be great to exploit for some kind of reservoir-based heating and cooling system.
we do have those for district heating, but they’re usually composed of water. the finns are experimenting with sand too. thing is, +/- 30 degrees isn’t much to work with. all the heat battery systems i’ve seen that work are running in the hundreds of degrees. well, except the water ones of course, but even those run close to boiling point.
Well stop measuring!
Don’t Look Up!
Invest in sharpies!
Can’t we just nuke the heat?
Fighting fire with fire!
I mean… there was some talk about nuclear winter no… ??
But if not, we can just fish another asteroid and drop on earth.
That would grant us around 2 years of winter world wilde
I’ve been told that AI will fix this
“Just need to melt a few more ice caps and my LLM will have the solution to preventing the ice caps from melting!”
Man, those libs are sure working overtime selling their hoax.
It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the operators of all 250,000 worldwide weather stations are in a coordinated effort to misreport temperatures
Tell me about it. Do you have any idea how high the specific heat of water is? George Soros must be running those space lasers 24/7 to make such a convincing show.
Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.
We’re so fucked
I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.
We’re at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands 🤔
Zurich for example
Maybe lowlands isn’t the best word but it’s not high up in the alps
Yeah I’m in the middle of visiting Germany, Austria, and Slovenia over five weeks, and I did not pack enough warm clothes
Must be some parallel universe central Europe …

Those who have money to do something about it but aren’t doing anything about it should share the consequences… No Air Conditioner for them…
Oh, they’re absolutely doing a lot about it. They’re funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that’s vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag…again

Edit: Links
it goes further than that, the oil/gas companies are funding subterfuge groups, basically they funding “protest” that are upright annoying, and deface property, which helps turn the public against them in the name of global warming. additionally they fund movements, like reducing carbon footprint, and people also SUSsed out companies that “how do reduce your carbon usage by buying our enviromentally friendly products”. that way they dont need to reduce thier own emissions.
Truly awful. Like tobacco executive levels of amoral behavior.
on some nature channels, people were calling out these companies as they are being promoted by the owners, i think that got the message and stopped promoting them, it would be hypocritical for them keep promoting on thier channels, when all the animals are endagered due to deforestation, global warming, encroachment.
Why would they need air conditioning with their heads in a guillotine basket?
To keep their executioners nice and cool.
They’re already pretty cool in my book.
Noice. I see what you did there. 🪓💀🩸🪦 ( •_•)>⌐■-■ 😎
Norway doesn’t have a lot of air conditioners
One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.
Another popular take is: “China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?”
“By the time things go really bad, I’ll be dead, so who cares?”
Basically selfish people being selfish. I’d like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.
This is why we can’t have anything nice.
that level of selfishness is pathological.
and I mean it, as it literally harms others, so it’s not just a quirky attitude.
Well, when I read your examples, I’m also like: WTF?
But at the same time, I also can’t justify doing more than I’m already doing when companies and billionaires are so wasteful. I do recycle plastics etc, but it is becoming very difficult to justify me having to take this action, when 3M down the river just dumps all possible forever chemicals in our rivers and even have a government issued permit allowing them to do so.
So in short, on some level, I’m also selfish. Let the corporations and billionaires that pollute the most take action. There is very little someone like me can do, and I’m already doing most of the stuff I can. For instance, we have 2 electric cars, solar panels, well insulated home with a heatpump, we recycle as much we can, etc…
let that sink in
agree, it’s too high
We’ll be letting a lot of things sink in over the next 50 years
Waterworld time
Im excited for the world’s biggest battle royal at the pole. The circle closing in will be a lethal wet bulb temperature.
I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for “coolcation” only to find it almost as hot as down there.
Yeah, I get the reasoning, but it’s not all about latitude. The Gulf Stream and Polar Front Jet Stream have huge impacts on local climates. Britain would probably have a lot more beaches with cool temperatures if they’re looking for those in an easily accessible country from Europe.
I can only remember one summer with more than a day or two of 30+ degrees c. They are usually right to come here for more comfortable temperatures. We usually want to leave the other way when we have rainy 12 degrees summers.
Huh, another thing I learned on lemmy. Thanks for helping keep this place better than the r-word.
Not all summers are rainy though, but it kind of feels like it. A normal good summer day is mid twenties. I’m from just about where the post is about. Futher south is more consistently nice.
Honestly, I like rain. I lived for a long time in a place that was almost always sunny, with summer temps getting into the high 30s.
Real estate investment funds are scrambling to pick up coastal acreage of Norway’s hottest new vacation beach front property.
(Sarcasm doesn’t cover ir. Tragic jest maybe?)
Joke’s on them when AMOC collapses.
Arctic glamping resort in the Scottish highlands for less than $25,000/night!
I don’t know about Norway specifically, but I believe you’re at least generally correct:
