Lack of extreme heat for Scandinavia, Eastern Europe

Following the extreme heat and wildfires of last summer, Scandinavia can expect a more typical summer this year.

Temperatures will be seasonably warm throughout the season, but no lasting heat waves or prolonged dry spells are predicted.

The combination of lower temperatures and occasional rainfall will lower the wildfire risk dramatically from last year, when many areas endured the worst fires in modern history.

"While much of Scandinavia saw less than 50 percent of their normal rainfall last summer, the region can expect 70-100 percent of normal this summer," Roys said.
