In den 15 Jahren, die ich hier lebe, habe ich noch nie einen so warmen Januar erlebt.

Start of January was abnormally cold. I would venture a guess that on average this month has been pretty average. But I do agree, it feels like March with the birds singing.

The average temperature in Helsinki in January 2023 was -0.8. It’s been lower than that this year. Not as cold as last year though, but last year was a record cold January.

Same here in Oulu. Started very cold, down to – 20°C. Now its 0-3°C and very windy
