Emily Stroud October 23, 2020 Sweden's Climate Changes This week, as stated above, I will be talking about Sweden's climate changes. Surprisingly, Sweden doesn't actually have very many tornadoes, thunder storms, blizzards ect., however, it does get very extreme weather, ranging from 72 to 73ºF in the Summer, and 32º to -22ºF in the winter. About 15% of Sweden is above the Arctic Circle, and from late May to mid-July, there is no break from sunlight. Just imagine trying to sleep with sun still pouring through your windows at 12 AM! Also, according to britannica.com , even all the way in Stockholm, Sweden's capitol, only a few hours during the night get, not dark, but "semidark". Interestingly enough, during the middle of December, even Lapland, north of Sweden, has nearly 20 hours of the day pitch black, leaving 4 hours of the day in twilight, while Stockholm gets 5.5 hours of light during December. Why am I talk...
In a way it is good that Sweden does not get a lot of action in earthquakes because it can be very dangerous.
ReplyDeleteDo they have any mitigation measures/plans for this hazard?
ReplyDeleteFYI. I found they use a local seismic net to monitor those quakes! (which is good)
