This news is truly devastating. I wouldn’t be the same researcher and the same person without NCAR experience early during my PhD. #NCAR is the place where I learned the power of interdisciplinary collaborative research, which I value and benefit from ever since.

Kuumaa riittää.
The heatwave in Finland could last another week or so as the Omega pattern strengthens over northeast Europe.
The persistence of the heatwave will make it definitely one of the strongest on record in Finland, if not the strongest.
