Heatwave hit Europe’s Arctic coast

Record temperature for May at Mehamn airport on Norway’s coast to the Barents Sea.

Few places in Europe were warmer than the Finnmark region on Tuesday. Nyrud in the Pasvik valley measured a peak at 25,3 degrees Celsius, actually higher than the Mediterranean coast of Spain and Italy.
