Summer in northern Finland and Sweden
In northern Finland and northern Sweden you are at the same latitude as in central Greenland that means further north than Iceland. Here summer is the time of the constantly shining sun. At the arctic circle the sun shines without interruption from the 21st to the 23rd of June. At that time the average temperatures vary from +10°C to +15°, but during the day temperatures can rise up to 30°C.

In places further north than 66.5 degree the sun stands for at least 24 hours over the horizon in the summer. That means in the summer the sun never sets in Lapland. This phenomenon is called the midnight sun. The best place to observe it is at the coast or from hills with a good panorama. When we follow the track of the sun in the evening we see it setting in a gentle continually flattening curve. The red sunset spreads but shortly before the sun touches the horizon it starts to rise again surrounded by the red sky in the morning. Without a watch you easily lose track of time.
