Well, they can combat the lack of sunlight by wearing ultra warm sauna pants.

*calmly jots down your name* Tell me, are you particularly sensitive to forceful insertion of plastic objects? Allergic reactions are such a drag...

Rovaniemi: c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!

So the few days that have (some) sun are also the ones with the lowest temperatures?

Broken image, Jax.

It was just a squinting Fry... (can't seem to get the hang of linking/uploading stuff)

Welcome to Finland, may we offer you an Angry Birds soda?

Okay.

And the thing about sun and cold? Not really surprising... the old folk's wisdom is that clouds are like a blanket that keeps what little warmth there is inside. On a sunny day, there's no such cover, so it's a lot colder.

Also, Rovaniemi is hella north.

 

[Jax]

Yeah, that I know, but thát much of a difference? They're more or less 20 degrees apart!

Apart from that, when is it the sunniest period in Finland? I actually'd like to go there some time.

 

[North_Ranger]

June, July and August, I would say. Depending on the year, it can also be frightfully hot at that time.

Also, the temperature differences aren't that surprising. Consider that Finland is long, with the southern-most parts having oak forests and glens and the northern-most parts essentially tundra.
