Winter weather
Finnish weather
Don’t you love days like this?

Raining in central Mexico
Summer in the central Mexican plateau tends to be rather rainy after a certain point in June, and this time it was no exception. With two to three tropical storms and hurricanes hitting the Mexican coasts during that time, the amount of rain was something I was not used to anymore, as you can see below:
The problem was that all this water caused floods in lower-lying areas of the country.
Midsummer in Finland
So far north the seasonal changes are very, very obvious indeed, especially in relation to the amount of light you get depending on the time of the year. During the summer equinox we get almost 19 hours of non-stop sun (if it’s sunny, that is), whereas in the darkest part of winter we have only around 6 hours.
These changes mean that also the seasons have very defined looks to them: summer is very green, autumn has two defined phases: ruska and dark and muddy, winter (if lucky) is white with snow and the spring then sees the melting of the snow and the greening of the land. The Finns also change quite a bit, as any local will tell you.

I found this in the Everybody Votes Channel of my Wii. What worried me was that over 40% of the respondents aren’t doing something about a very real threat.
Winter seems to be over
The warmest winter in recorded history (pictured) has given way to a very interesting spring, where Finland is having air-quality issues due to forest fires in Russia.
For me, your average chilango (Mexico City denizen), a little bit of smog just makes me, say, homesick 😉 .
