Arctic Circle Burns As Record Heat Broils Northern Europe
An intense heat wave is fueling wildfires across an enormous swath of northern Europe, with at least 11 fires raging within the Arctic Circle, reported The Guardian.
Sweden is the worst-hit country, with at least 40 fires burning as of Wednesday, Time reported.
Multiple communities have been evacuated, and thousands of people have been directed to stay indoors with their vents and windows closed to avoid harmful smoke inhalation.
"This is definitely the worst year in recent times for forest fires," Mike Peacock, a university researcher and local resident, told The Guardian. "Whilst we get them every year, 2018 is shaping up to be excessive," he said.
European officials have stated that the risk of more fires continues as long as temperatures stay above 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) — and that such warm weather is in the forecast for the coming days. Several Arctic-area locations have experienced record-high temperaturesthis year. Helsinki hit 86°F (30°C) for the first time in eight years, and the northernmost city in Finland, Utsjoki, experienced an all-time record high this summer of 92° F (33.3° C), The Weather Channel reported.
Climate scientists have said that the Arctic and other areas that once experienced very little fire activity are becoming more vulnerable to wildfires.....

Where did you come up with this lie? Currently the Arctic circle is -6.1 Deg F below normal and the day time surface temps are below 28 deg F. The point where sea ice forms...
Your article is so full of shit.... Empirical Evidence calls yo out a liar... Even sea ice area is expanding past the 2 std deviations into positive territory..
Were already headed to bottom out region....
Burning up my ass! Let me guess you got that from your models.....
Edit; This is better yet. Your own damn article acknowledges that the high pressure over that small region is the reason for the spike.. So it is not arctic wide as your lie states... LOL...
