> Our findings suggest that the Nordic countries should prepare for substantially higher peak temperatures than indicated by the historical observational record alone.

No not really. But we should probably be grateful, that we gets a long warning before.

No, that's in the south of France.

This summer everything above 20° seemed unlikely. And yes, I know global temperatures have been rising and one cold summer in Norway is not to be confounded with no global warming, but it was a really, really shitty summer…

In Denmark we had a new heat record of 37 degrees this summer

Norway can rejoin The Kingdom of Denmark and you'll likely experience 40 degrees in our country soon

Did we even see 23 this summer?

Hehe. Cannot even reach 30 degrees consistently in summer. 40 is not going to happen.
