In January 2026, Finland experienced extreme cold waves with temperatures below -35°C, severely disrupting daily life. Tourists were stranded in several cities, and numerous flights were canceled.
Authorities activated emergency measures to assist affected people, including mobile warming centers and emergency shelters. Transportation services worked around the clock to keep roads passable.
Meteorologists warn that such extreme weather events are becoming more likely due to climate change and recommend long-term preparations. Schools, businesses, and communities were urged to update emergency plans.
