What is your positive goal for the day? 🤔

Please do.

To manage to do something constructive. I don’t want to do anything when it’s hot!
Here we are actually getting the 3rd heat day this summer today, the previous ones were in July. And it counts as heat when it goes above 25°C here (I know the limit is 30 on more southern countries) so it's not extraordinary hot, it will just go to 26 day.

It's more about me not having slept well for ages and having a social thing. Well, at least I'll eat in company. But I'm feeling so of that I'm tempted to let my inner child out and take a plushie with me...

Aww well i definitely sympathise. It was 28c here yesterday and I did a 3 mile walk. It wasn’t fun, but I was desperate to be moving. I’d kinda ground to a halt.

And one day last week it was 33c where I like to walk. I’m English, we aren’t designed for this! 🤣.

Neither are Finns... Our official temperature record froma few years back is just a few digits over 33.

But this summer has been cool. Unusually cool really. Today it will go above 25 later in the afternoon when I might already be back home.

Oh Finland! I took the kids there long ago for one of those Xmas experience things. Snow was a bit minimal that year 🤣

My bit of England may have up to 7 days of 30+. It helps being on the coast.
But a couple of years back, we had a bizarre 40c. Really not good.

I’ve actually always wanted to visit normal, non Xmas experience Finland. I really enjoy experiencing the non touristy places of the world. It can be so rewarding.

Well, if you weren't in Lapland, Xmas is by no means guaranteed having snow. At all, especially on southern coast, and half the Finland usually has just relatively little. If you want half a meter, come in February, and not in Helsinki...

Last year we got the record number of heat days. 16 already in May and at least 68 the whole year. Also we got plenty of 30+ days. It makes this year feel all the more odd, though this is by no means a record summer of any sort.

I guess the ideal place would be somewhere near to the capital, so I can check that out too, but where there aren’t loads of foreign tourists, yet still had stuff to do.

That’s when it can be super interesting, because you get a better feel for the country?

I'm not sure it's that interesting on the countryside. You'd probably be better off choosing some other city than the capital region. Tampere, and in summer Turku is fine too.
