Left figure: Distribution of the average water level of the Baltic Sea from all observations from 1971–2026. The values are averages from observations from 14 different tide gauges. The observed minimum (-79.3 cm) on 6 February 2026 is at the very left end of the distribution. Right figure: The lowest water level of the year in different years from 1971–2026. The observed minimum in 2026 is clearly a new low record in this time series.
I calculated the daily average sea level across all 14 tide gauges in Finnish coast (1000 km coastline) for 1971–2026.
The results show that the average sea level in the Baltic Sea has been historically low in recent days, with an average of -79 cm on 6 February 2026.
Ice extent in the Baltic Sea. Black line shows the extent for 2025-2026, and the background shading indicate the climatology for the period 2007-2021.
The ice extent in the Baltic Sea is growing rapidly, and yesterday's value of 140,000 km² is close to the largest extent in 2007–2021.
We have already surpassed the winter maximum values for 2019–2025, with the previous higher extent being in 2018.

I november skrev jag om allvarliga missförhållanden i föreningen Kran. Då fick styrelsen upp ögonen för att det fanns problem i föreningen som nu har gett chefen sparken.

Europeiska ledare berömde den stora enigheten och gemensamma linjen då Trump backade från Grönland och tullarna.
Nu avslöjar @politico.com att Valtonen beskrev "handelsbazookan" som tomma hot för amerikanska diplomater.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

On häpeällistä että Suomi vasta "arvioi rauhassa" sitä pitäisikö lähettää pari sotilasta tukemaan Tanskaa. Norja ja Ruotsi ovat näin tehneet.
Anteeksi vain ja kaikella kunnioituksella TP-UTVA, mutta MITÄ?
Kyse ei ole resursseista. Ainoa johtopäätös on, että pelätään Yhdysvaltojen reaktiota.

Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean.
Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone."
Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)
Att hämta Maduro från Caracas gick bra men att borda en tanker i Karibien misslyckades?
Enligt medieuppgifter har USA:s kustbevakning i två veckor(!) jagat Marinera/Bella1 som alltså haft AIS påkopplat och varit synlig på kartan hela tiden. 🙄🛥️
It's like I took an afternoon nap and woke up in a 2003 fever dream where the US is engaged in regime change overseas, and plans to run a foreign country and take its oil. I think I'll just close my eyes and go back to sleep.

Screenshot of wave height time series, showing the peak of 11.1 meters.
According to FMI wave buoy measurements, the significant wave height reached 11.1 meters last night in the Bothnian Sea.
If true, it would be the highest waves ever recorded in the Baltic Sea.

2 m temperature anomalies for this week, predicted by ECMWF. Widely positive (red colors) over Fennoscandia.
2 m temperature anomalies for the next week, predicted by ECMWF. Still didely positive (red colors) over Fennoscandia.
Unfortunately it seems likely that southern Finland will see a widespread green Christmas this year. The largest temperature anomalies will occur just before the holidays.
Resembles a bit the situation in December 2020 when it was last time widely a snowless Christmas.

Jan-Nov mean temperature in Helsinki Kaisaniemi in 1845-2025.
Helsinki, Finland, is currently on track for the 2nd warmest calendar year on record, trailing only 2020 📈🌡️
To avoid this, December would need to be more than 2 °C colder than average, a scenario that seems unlikely at this point (based on sub-seasonal forecasts).
Stort fokus på Ukraina den här veckan igen, så jag var glad att kunna bjuda in Pekka Haavisto till podden Veckan hos HBL. Vi talade om var Ryssland står, om Turkiets möjliga roll för framsteg i processen, om Trumps medietaktik samt om Stubbs golfdiplomati:
