I just pulled an all-nighter on updating Kiruna's averages to 2002-2017 on Wikipedia and making these box, combining the coldest and warmest months of Kiruna for that timeframe. Make no mistake, people actually live in a climate that risks ending up like this in any given year if the wrong patterns align; yet in spite of this Swedish law requires unemployed citizens to seek work in a dreadful location like that  #hungerstrike #SOS. Luckily I don't think that's enforced, basically there are no jobs there anyway unless you wanna work in the iron mine...  Anyway, this is if everything goes right; which it never does. Still worse than a normal year down here, and still looks on par with our worst years...  Has to say that one still wins; E vs F frigging minus... |

Warm Kiruna still has slightly too long winters but it's much better than Cold Kiruna. Nice summers there!  |

I'm going to surprise a lot of people and pick Warm Kiruna! I'd like my summers to at least reach 70F, especially with such a low sun angle as is found here.  They (the summer) looks comfortable and the winter looks like it would still have consistent, stable snow. Just fix the disastrous sunshine hours...I assume it has a tiny polar night of a few weeks in December into early January? |

The lowest peak sun angle at its latitude (67°N) is -0.6° so it wouldn't feel like complete polar night since twilights during clear days would last for more than five hours. The problem is that it's extremely gloomy in winter anyway so would normally be less than that. Kiruna is just a tiny bit too far north to be able to measure sunshine on December 1 above 1° which is why SMHI has never recorded a sunshine hour there for December. Technically, polar night as in beneath 0.0° peak angle lasts between Dec 8 and Jan 5, but it's unable to measure sunshine between Nov 30 and Jan 13 I hope it does make sense? I wasn't all that surprised about your choice though Sari, you seem a bit pick-and-choose about winters when they are getting too cold. More of a "maritime subarctic" fan |
