Lind said that Wednesday\u2019s measurement was made at the Kvikkjokk-Arrenjarka station in Sweden\u2019s far north. \u201cIt is the lowest temperature that has been recorded in this specific spot since measurements began\u201d in 1888, he said. Several other stations recorded temperatures of below minus 40C in Sweden\u2019s north.<\/p>\n<p>While residents of the region are used to seeing freezing temperatures, the recent cold snap has forced local bus operators to suspend services, and train operator Vy said Tuesday that it had cancelled all trains north of the city of Umea for several days.Trains were also disrupted in neighbouring Finland, where a seasonal record of minus 38.7 Celsius was recorded Tuesday evening in the northern Lapland region.<\/p>\n<p>Several instances of frozen or burst water pipes were also reported, and Finnish broadcaster YLE said around 300 people in the city of Tampere were left without running water on Tuesday. The cold front is expected to move south over the next few days, with the Finnish capital Helsinki already seeing temperatures falling to minus 15C on Wednesday. But despite colder temperatures being expected tomorrow, some of the capital\u2019s residents were unfazed by the prospect. \u201cI\u2019m really loving it. It\u2019s a mindset thing I guess,\u201d Katja, a woman in Helsinki, told AFP on Wednesday. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the clothing,\u201d she said, wearing a thick black winter jacket with the hood pulled over her head. \u201cYeah, just a lot of clothes and the attitude \u2014 Like it\u2019s going to be cold but it\u2019s beautiful,\u201d her friend Nita agreed as snow fell.<\/p>\n<p>The extreme cold is also expected to hit Norway towards the end of the week, with temperatures in Oslo potentially falling to minus 27C this weekend, according to the national weather service. Heavy snowfall has already impacted the south of the country with school closures and cancelled flights.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/sweden-sees-coldest-weather-in-25-years\/article\">DJ<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/sweden-sees-coldest-weather-in-25-years\/\">Sweden sees coldest weather in 25 years<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[12776,555,848,3270],"class_list":["post-120843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cold","tag-csr-news-en","tag-sweden","tag-weather"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120843\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
