Today's maximum temperature in Lahti was 24.4 C but the minimum was 3.1 C
I looked that up on the Finnish Meteorological Institute web page here. Relative air humidity dropped from 99% at 6.10 am when the sun rose to 22% at 6 pm. This is not uncommon for early summer. The lakes and rivers or sea water in or near Northern Europe have not had time to warm up yet but the sun is quite powerful already - by local standards. Late summer nights are different. Air humidity is higher which is why the temperature will not drop that low before dawn.
This warm spell seems unlikely to end in powerful thunderstorms - unless it goes on long enough - because the air mass that we are in is simply too dry. Because of the greater humidity of the air in late July and August hot weather then will usually end in torrential rain and small tornadoes. In the less densely populated regions in Eastern Finland, tornadoes may destroy power lines and cause blackouts lasting several days to a week. I have lived all my life in the southwest of the country. I don't remember any power outages caused by weather phenomena ever or anything at all since my childhood.
Lahti is a very enviable place! ... not even light goes out! ... haha
Here it light goes out as soon as three safe drops of rain fall. The electrical system never served as it should here, it is not just this government.
I thought you were going to tell that you were going to take a bath on the beach.

My daughter has already done that. In fact, I should follow suit. The waters in small lakes should tolerable already.

For days we have wanted to go to the beach with my daughter Antonella. When I go I'll make a publication because even that is an odyssey. But she needs to have fun.

We've had many electricity outages here but part of the reason why that has happened might the poor infrastructure here since I live in "rural" area. Or so it was before someone decided to put the powerlines going underground straight through our yard and ruining it.

That's one of the big differences between the more densely populated and rural areas: infrastructure quality.

Big difference in max and min. We have serious thunder storms in the summer. Lightning and hail and normally in the late afternoon. I have seen man hole covers in the road being forced up by the water. Normally humidity leads to some sort of storm. Amazed your weather has been so good for so long. Global warming maybe changing weather patterns. I don't know. the weather is definitely changing though. Cape Town went down to no water recently. Dams were empty.

I read somewhere that global warming is making the polar jet stream meander and slow down causing one type of weather system to get stuck in one place for a longer time. That means longer heat waves or periods of rain.

For what you said, summer it's just beginning, but actually I really had no idea that tornadoes and big storm were formed in finland, well, I don't know if it's because in the equatorial climate we only have 2, fresh and hot stations, but I really dig for that climatic roller coaster going on in the north.

Oh no, they are nothing like the huge tornadoes commonplace in the south of the USA that you, too, must have seen on the news on TV. They are short-lived and local but powerful enough to take down a local power line, cause trees to fall in the space of a hectare or two or destroy a single building a a group of buildings.

That link leads to a translation to a Finnish language page that describes the destruction wrought by these small tornadoes in addition to storms.
Use text search for "trombi".
For example, in Tornio in southern Lapland on June 14 2004, a 20 metre wide hall was lifted by a tromb and moved five metres. There was a tractor inside. After the passing of the tornado, the tractor stood outside the hall. The hall had been removed from around the tractor and the hall had landed beside the tractor now sitting under the open sky.

Then for what you say, just where you live will not go through those storms so strong and destructive
friend, what happened with your avatar of Gerrero. I change it for a cat? Is what you can see true?

I was linking them from Facebook and they suddenly stopped working. uploaded the profile picture to Steem but did not find the cyber warrior picture anywhere.
A greater proportion of power lines are underground in the more densely populated parts of Finland. Also, the small tornadoes that we have tend to be short lived and local. In rural areas where there are lots of small power lines that serve small communities, the chances of a power line being hit by one of them is far greater than in the southwest of the country where the only lines above ground tend to be the main lines that are of very sturdy construction.
