Finland and Sweden have recorded their coldest winters.
Sweden experienced its coldest night in the past 25 years, with a temperature of minus 43.6 degrees Celsius.
The meteorologist at the Swedish National Meteorological Agency stated that to understand this phenomenon, the lowest January temperature in Sweden since 1999 should be considered.
Previously, in January 1999, a temperature of minus 49 degrees Celsius was recorded in Sweden.
While residents of Sweden are accustomed to very low temperatures, the extreme cold has caused disruptions in local bus services.
Similarly, the cold and low temperatures in Finland have also affected train services.
In the city of Ylivieska in northwest Finland, the air temperature reached minus 37.5 degrees Celsius.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute has issued a warning that the air temperature in many areas of the country may drop below minus 40 degrees Celsius.
