July's Nordic heatwave resulted in parts of Scandinavia experiencing 22 consecutive days of temperatures above 30 degrees Centigrade. There were 'tropical' nights, at this time, when temperatures failed to fall to below 20 degrees C. The over-heated hospitals of Finland, Norway and Sweden rapidly became over-populated. More than 60 people drowned, as folk engaged in outdoor swimming. Toxic algal blooms festooned lakes and rivers, making this activity more dangerous (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/14/nordic-heatwave-climate-crisis-sweden-norway-finland). This just proves that there will be no places on the planet that are immune from the effects of climate change.
