They need to work on their weather though.

There was first tropical night of the year already at the beginning of June in Oslo.

It isn't about temperature, it's about sunlight. Norway, despite its material wealth and natural beauty, has one of the world's highest suicide rates.

The tilt of the Earth has nothing to do with “the weather” (that you can do something with).

Norway's suicide rate is average. That's Finland you're thinking of.

Today in Oslo:

    sunrise 04:03 
    sunset  22:39

Nights are very short in the Nordics during the summer. There is so much sun you don't know what to do with.

It's the non-summer months that kill you.

Yet people in Nordics live longer and are happier than people in south.
