At least, it's sunny in Sodankyla !

Oh wait, -16°C...

[–]GodspeakerVortka 320 points321 points ago

It's Always Sunny in Sodankyla.

[–]Kruunu 33 points34 points ago

Dude, polar night, dude.

[–]name_is_Jawnz 11 points12 points ago

Isn't there normally a black line over the sun indicating that it's still dark? Like here for Qaanaaq: http://www.yr.no/place/Greenland/Other/Qaanaaq/ tomorrow.

[–]redditor741 8 points9 points ago

No.. Please let us have the whole picture of the sun.

[–]amcrastinator 4 points5 points ago

Does that mean, "It's sunny but fuck if you'll know about it."?

[–]Soniccyanide 7 points8 points ago

As a guy living in Sodankylä, i find this very amusing

[–]RetrospecTuaL 18 points19 points ago

Sodankyla is quite a hilarious name, it's almost as a combination of the English word "Sudden" and the Swedish word for cold, "Kyla".

Sodankyla, Sudden Cold.

[–]Mahmutti 24 points25 points ago

What it actually means is "village of the war" translated directly. Just thought you might want to know!

[–]Kela3000 4 points5 points ago

The actual etymology, though, is a Sami family name Coavvá, which became Sova when translated to Finnish.

Just thought you might want to know!

[–]dilkoman 11 points12 points ago

It sounds more like "Sådan kyla", which translates to "Such cold"

[–]xiaoli 2 points3 points ago

Why is it colder when it's sunny?

[–]Montaron87 7 points8 points ago

Clouds form some sort of an isolating layer is my guess.

[–]Bartleby1955 5 points6 points ago

clouds reflect back infrared

[–]kawfey 123 points124 points ago

Finland: cloudy 24 hours a day, 9 days a week.

[–]Wide-Eyed_Penguin 22 points23 points ago

seriously, why was I not informed of this before I took my exchange here...

[–]samyall 21 points22 points ago

Im starting exchange there in a month. I guess if its cold and cloudy the whole time I will just have to spend my time drunk in saunas with finnish girls...

[–]blackrug 5 points6 points ago

Man, you will really start appreciating alcohol there. Nah seriously, you will. PS: Cider is your friend

[–]sStrong9000 4 points5 points ago

[–]5panks 31 points32 points ago

What, is the difference between a -0 and a +0?

[–]Kelmi 32 points33 points ago

Ice melting and ice forming.

[–]VallySate 11 points12 points ago

-0 = ]-0.5, -0[ => your car will freeze overnight

+0 = [0, 0.5[ => you're dandy

[–]kuutee 4 points5 points ago

+0 = a little warmer than 0 celsius -0 = a little colder than 0 celsius

Real difference: +0 = snow melts -0 = snow does not melt

[–]ibuprofeeni 21 points22 points ago

Now I see why there are all of the Finnish immigrants where I live...

The weather is exactly the same.

[–]Ree81 16 points17 points ago

My mom (daughter of Finnish immigrants) chose to move to Umeå (northern Sweden) 'cause "I missed real winters". 31 now and still stuck in this one horse town. =_=

[–]Judejaegarn 7 points8 points ago

Don't you dare talk bad about Umeå...!

[–]wolf_man007 31 points32 points ago

At first, I thought I was looking at an almanac. I thought to myself, "does Finland have some crazy calendar? What's with all these months?" - then I read the names of the "months" and realized they were cities. For a moment there, I was really excited that Finland was bucking the whole 12-month system.

[–]o0260o 8 points9 points ago

Yea I would expect that from Finland, too

[–]ArghNoNo 12 points13 points ago

Bergen, Norway here. I feel your pain. Been raining since early September...

[–]Nimonic 26 points27 points ago

Bergen? Raining since early September? More like the Early Cambrian.

[–]b0nbon 38 points39 points ago

Just wait for January! A jolly -20 celsius.

Greetings from Turku.

[–]Pjotor 14 points15 points ago

Turku has been nothing but clouds and rain since I moved here. When will it snow?!

[–]qwertyazerty 20 points21 points ago

Well you are living in the asshole of Finland. What, no one told you?

[–]ashkon91 2 points3 points ago

I was there over the summer. It still rains and has several cloudy days :/

[–]tonypotenza 3 points4 points ago

-20 celsius.

thats it ?

I thought it would be less, we get -30 Celsius here in Quebec in January.

[–]bad_situation 38 points39 points ago

THIS ISN'T A CONTEST TONY!

[–]IisakkiSuuri 6 points7 points ago

they are talking about the southest part of Finland possible. Where I live we can get over -40 celcius in January. Too bad the weather sucks here right now too. All the snow is melting away and all that's left is slippery ice which is a pain in the ass

[–]BustingMyths 3 points4 points ago

We get those too, but to be fair OP's commenting from southern Finland.

[–]Queen_LaQueefah 22 points23 points ago

Finland, Finland, Finland. That's the country for me

[–]Niceslippers 14 points15 points ago

You're so near to Russia So far from Japan Quite a long way from Cairo Lots of miles from Vietnam

[–]benchley 3 points4 points ago

Finland has it all.

[–]SpiralSoul 4 points5 points ago

Finland is the country where we dance! Finland is the country where we play!

[–]redneon 3 points4 points ago

[–]TJ-sylar 8 points9 points ago

Someone worse off than Scotland... Never thought I would see they day

[–]TheForbiddenFool 34 points35 points ago

Must. Move. There. As. Soon. As. Possible.

[–]tillicum 17 points18 points ago

If you want constant overcast, drizzly weather, just move to Seattle.

[–]bearnaut 13 points14 points ago

It's also much warmer than that in Seattle.

[–]Ree81 18 points19 points ago

I admit it'd be great if the sun didn't set at 3-4PM during the winter months... which last 6 months.

[–]NoSleepForMeEVER 7 points8 points ago

In California sun set is around 4:30 right now... So I guess it's not that big a difference. But winter also doesn't last 6 months.

[–]McDreads 26 points27 points ago

I live in California and what's winter?

[–]hahagato 18 points19 points ago

Winter is those 3 days in February when it gets a little rainy for a few hours.

[–]fatmasterrex 12 points13 points ago

I live in Arizona and it's 81 fucking degrees in late November.

[–]Poopdick_Blowjob 5 points6 points ago

Iowa here. I haven't seen a cold winter in at least ten years. I wore shorts today

[–]5panks 10 points11 points ago

I lived in California for 7 years. Having moved to Tennessee I can tell you that California only has two seasons. "Sunny" and those 3 months a year where "it gets dark early and rains a lot, also it is colder".

[–]Robert_Cannelin 7 points8 points ago

Ti, a drink with jam and bread

Ke, a shaft that unlocks doors

To, your car, it's broken down

Pe, you must, you just had Coors

La, a day to follow Pe

Su, the reason lawyers be

Ma, another word for Mom

That will bring us back to Ti

[–]Octopus_Tetris 10 points11 points ago

Terve, perkele!

That's the extent of what i know in finnish.

[–]deusatiam 9 points10 points ago

You'll get far with that ;)

[–]Choasrule 7 points8 points ago

Only 4 possible sunny days? sounds like a winter forecast for portland.

[–]flackdaddyxpress 7 points8 points ago

Initially I thought those were little cartoon drawings of shit piles, then realized it was the weather.

But that weather really is almost like a pile of shit, so they could have drawn either or.

[–]yesme1018 5 points6 points ago

That would explain the music that comes out of Finland..

[–]Xurv 7 points8 points ago

[–]ladyderpette 15 points16 points ago

Hi, Finland! This is Canada. We are jealous that you have positive temperatures right now.

Also, we're sorry for being jealous.

[–]Larein 4 points5 points ago

But if it was negative numbers we would have snow instead of this rain and fog..

[–]samout 8 points9 points ago

And if we had snow it wouldn't be dark as fuck at 3:30PM. Snow reflects light. Depressing, it's actually made me angry.

Clouds clouds clouds clouds rain wind clouds... end day. "Good morning! You see that sun rising? Well say goodbye to it cause clouds clouds clouds clouds and here's some rain to keep you company while you're going outside!"

[–]DoTheToffeeDance 5 points6 points ago

Well, being the weatherman there wouldn't be too hard. Just say "Cloudy" and you'd be right 97.35% of the time. Better than the weathermen here in Vancouver....

[–]DiscordianStooge 3 points4 points ago

Klooddii.

Did I translate that right?

[–]Inskipp 9 points10 points ago

No.

[–]ActuallyTheOtherGuy 7 points8 points ago

Trying in finnish?

It is cloudy (outside). <-> (Ulkona) on pilvistä.

If you want to say it in FINNISH oikein sisulla, repeat after me:

Voi helvetin kuustoista se on jo viidettä viikkoa saatanan pilvistä kuin narkkarin ullakolla! Jumalauta, ei tätä paskaa kestä vittu kukaan!

[–]PahaSeta 3 points4 points ago

[–]tintti214 6 points7 points ago

We have always been here.. But we werent able to reply because had a terrible hangover... :D

[–]tripuri 4 points5 points ago

Finland should send some of their extra snow to the warm lands who never get any.

[–]Brainless_Fin 3 points4 points ago

With pleasure! Even though there isn't much of it here yet :/

[–]GimmeSomeSugar 13 points14 points ago

Finland. Not even once.

[–]rewision 6 points7 points ago

Well that's what you get when your strategy consists of people running into machine gun fire without cover.

[–]Fluffiebunnie 0 points1 point ago

Also sniper with most confirmed kills and the top non-german flying ace of WWII (another flying ace at #5).

[–]lets_hit_reset 0 points1 point ago

They should just publish the places that there may be a chance of sun. The rest look pretty understood.

[–]thekeanu 2 points3 points ago

[–]LateralThinkerer 0 points1 point ago

The uniformity - it burns!!

[–]religionisaparasite 2 points3 points ago

I live in Winnipeg, Canada so I know your pain.

We go from 37+ Celsius in September to -37 Celsius in December every year.

You can literally walk around in a t-shirt one day, wake up the next day to a blizzard. As I'm typing this out I'm wondering why the fuck I live here... it's a shithole

[–]Majil229 0 points1 point ago

[–]FibrousFeces 2 points3 points ago

damn thats some beach weather in Sodankyla this afternoon

[–]foxriguez 1 point2 points ago

Doesn't Finland use Celsius? That doesn't seem that cold...

[–]muffinssi 20 points21 points ago

We do use Celsius. The point isn't that it's cold, it's that it's raining/cloudy all the time. Looking out of the window is pretty depressing.

[–]Jomppah 9 points10 points ago

It's called autumn/early winter weather. Plenty of sunny days in spring/summer IMO (greetings from Tampere).

[–]ramsau 11 points12 points ago

And by "plenty of sunny days" he clearly means those five days that occur during July.

[–]EltaninAntenna 4 points5 points ago

Yup, basically it hasn't stopped raining since the so-called summer decided to just wave at us from the car this year.

[–]Larein 3 points4 points ago

Thats kinda whats wrong. If it were colder we would have snow and not this damp, gray and foggy weather we have now. Its so dark without snow..

[–]McJasonCrady 2 points3 points ago

Finland: The home of negative and positive zero.

[–]MadeOfStarStuff 1 point2 points ago

[–]qwertyazerty 7 points8 points ago

Bonus: Sodankylä literally means War Village.

[–]Forgot_password_shit 3 points4 points ago

In Estonian, it'd be "Sõjaküla" (nominative of "war" is "sõda"). I understood it immediately.

[–]mynameisnoyb 0 points1 point ago

[–]Stratocaster89 1 point2 points ago

Who for a second there i thought in Finland they had a name for each date of the month. Im an idiot.

[–]jc_smoke 0 points1 point ago

i wonder why the sunny days are colder, the lack of cloud don`t retain enough heat? how much radiation you get there?

[–]Mellonote -1 points0 points ago

Or Wales. Seriously, today in the Newport and Risca areas where fucking horrible.

[–]hammondmondmond -1 points0 points ago

I thought it was just lots of pictures of poo over and over again. But alas, 'twas clouds.

[–]GoldenWaffles 1 point2 points ago

The only places that are sunny are also the coldest places

[–]Joelzinho 0 points1 point ago

What are the summer's like?

[–]BustingMyths 2 points3 points ago

Summers are usually quite nice... about 25°C and weather fluctuating normally (sometimes sun shine, sometimes rain etc.).... although the 24h sun can get annoying, when you try to go to sleep, though I prefer it to the days in winter when you have no chance to see the sun at all.

[–]thehalfwit 1 point2 points ago

What's with the negative zeros?

[–]majinjohnny 0 points1 point ago

Being from Northern Minnesota, after realizing these are in Celsius, I must say these are average early winter temperatures. Generally, I find these temperatures rather comfortable. Pansies.
