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.

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.

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.
