Indigenous Sámi have herded reindeer for more than 1000 years. But now, hotter summers cause reindeer to overheat and seek relief in urban areas. Warmer winters mean more snow falls as rain and alternating freeze and thaw creates layers of ice that prevent reindeer from digging for food.

Adaptation to heat is needed. The countries have developed heat action plans, which are proven to be effective at saving lives during heatwaves. However, increased coordination is needed between governments and vulnerable sectors like elderly care facilities, kindergartens, and schools.

The heatwave is similar to one that hit the region in 2018. In just seven years, similar events have become almost twice as likely due to increased global temperatures from 1.1 to 1.3°C.
Every fraction of a degree matters. Every fraction of a degree exposes more people to dangerous heat.

The trend will continue if the world continues to burn fossil fuels.
If warming reaches 2.6°C, which is expected this century, similar heatwaves are expected to become five times as frequent and become another 1.4°C hotter.

The countries were gripped by unusually hot weather from mid-July with temperatures above 30°C.
The persistent heat led to overcrowded and overheated hospitals, wildfires, algal blooms, a surge in drownings and reindeer sightings in urban areas seeking shade and relief from biting insects.
