Scandinavia Sets Coldest Temperatures Of The Century

Northern Europe's historic cold is not only persisting, it's intensifying — and it's testing Nordic infrastructure.

In the early hours of Friday, January 5, Finland's Enontekiö airport registered a remarkable -44.3C (-47.7F). This is not only Finland's lowest reading of the century, but also the lowest in all of Fennoscandia.

Note: Fennoscandia is the geographical peninsula in Europe which includes Scandinavia, Kola, mainland Finland, and Karelia.

The unofficial road weather station of Enontekiö Hietajoki actually sank to -46.5C (-51.7F), though we can't count this.


The official top-5 coldest temperatures set this century across Fennoscandia stand as follows:

-44.3C Enontekiö (2024)

-44.0C Storbo (2001)

-43.9C Drevsjø (2001)

-43.8C Naimakka (2024)

-43.6C Kvikkjokk-Årrenjarka (2024)

-43.6C Inari & Kittilä (2006)


The year 2024 is already proving a historically cold one up north.
