Tabloid Weather

Weather-related front-page headlines from Finnish news tabloids since 2015, because they appear terrifyingly frequently. Blockquotes are (sometimes creative) translations by @tiikerikani; otherwise paraphrase or commentary. Submissions from other countries welcome. Also check out @tabloidwalking!

28 May 2008 (Yeah you read that right)

Here's a picture of yours truly on her first trip to Finland. I am a partly-skimmed milk person so I can't tell you why I have both that and a box of skim milk (maybe for my roommate?). You get a virtual gold star if you can pin down which K-Supermarket this is. The walls are rather different now but were still more or less like this until 2017 when the Kesko branding changed (according to Google Maps).

Anyway, turns out there's a weather headline on the Ilta-Sanomat poster on the door!

Hellelakkiaiset!

I was in Tampere during lakkiaiset and I do remember it being quite warm during the day, but maybe not helle. We'd missed the last train and the last bus back to [REDACTED] that evening so we spent the whole night wandering around downtown and sheltering in random corners in the Finlayson block until the railway station opened in the morning and then finally going to the bus station to get out of town. I remember the air being somewhat chilly overnight.

i think it's K-Supermarket Länsiväylä in Jyväskylä?

You win the virtual gold star!
