That being said, I've been in Stockholm and Tallinn with temperatures between -15 and -30C in Feb. Coming from the west coast, that was an interesting endeavor.
Measured temp is one thing, wind chill is another.
- _delirium 14y agoFor Stockholm and Copenhagen below -15 C would be very rare (but looks like Talinn is rather colder). The record low in Copenhagen is -18 C, and in Stockholm -16 C, at least as measured wherever their official weather stations are (probably near the coast). In Copenhagen, -3 to +3 are more typical; older Danish apartments' relatively poor insulation is barely capable of dealing with -10 C! But it is indeed often quite windy.
- tarre 14y agoThe record low in Stockholm is -26, not -16 C. At least according to wikipedia.
- ptaipale 14y agoWas about to say the same, Stockholm surely sometimes gets colder than -16°C. Without looking any stats, probably -16°F (which is -27°C). For Helsinki, which not much further to the north, but closer to continental Russia, the record lows are -34°C / -30°F. And I slept outside in temperatures colder than this, my children did, and their children eventually will. It's a matter of proper clothing.
