00:00 The capital of Norway recorded a temperature below -30 ° C on Saturday.

00:05 A cold wave hit northern Europe in recent days, with a record -43.6 ° C recorded in northern Sweden on Wednesday.

00:14 Snow blocking traffic, several hundred private homes without electricity, freezing water driving.

00:20 Nordic countries have faced an extreme weather since Tuesday, disrupting traffic and affecting homes.

00:27 The temperature is for the first time down below -30 ° C Saturday January 6 in the town of Oslo,

00:32 with -31.1 ° C recorded in Birnold in the north of the Norwegian capital, according to data from the local meteorological institute.

00:40 This temperature was recorded on Friday night to Saturday, between 3 and 4, 2 and 3 hours between GMT,

00:48 in a forestry station in the town where the highest temperature during the last 24 hours was -21.9 ° C.

00:56 A little before 8 GMT, it was -29 ° C, for a feeling of -37 ° C, according to the site IR.no.

01:04 "The night we just spent was probably the coldest compared to what awaits us,"

01:09 said an expert at the meteorological institute, Martin Graner, interviewed by NRK public television.

01:15 In the city center of Oslo, it was -21.5 ° C during the night.

01:21 Disturbing traffic

01:24 Sweden, on its side, had already recorded the lowest temperature on Wednesday in 25 years for a month of January on its territory, -43.6 ° C in the far north.

01:34 This temperature was measured at the Kvikjokkar in Jarka in the northern part of Sweden.

01:40 It is the lowest temperature recorded at this precise location since the measurements began on the site in 1888,

01:47 said Mattias Lind of the Swedish National Meteorological Agency SMHI.

01:53 The thermometer in several other stations in northern Sweden, like in Lapland,

01:57 displayed temperatures below -40 ° C on the same day.

02:01 This wave of cold has forced Swedish bus companies to suspend their activities

02:06 and the local railway company Vibb announced Tuesday that it would cancel all trains running north of the Swedish city of Älvsjö for several days.

02:12 Railway traffic also suffers from disturbances in neighboring Finland.

02:18 "Extreme cold occurrences have decreased in the world in probability and intensity due to climate change,"

02:23 says the World Weather Attribution, which studies the link between extreme meteorological phenomena and climate warming.

02:30 "Even in a world that, on average, warms up, the natural variability of time makes extreme cold and snow possible at any time,"

02:38 explains Ben Clark of the University of Oxford and Frédéric Otto of the Imperial College London, both members of the WWA.

02:46 In addition, winter cold waves do not contradict the global trend for climate warming on a global scale,

02:52 which is a scientifically proven phenomenon.

02:55 Because we must not confuse the weather, that is, the time it takes for a moment and for a specific place,

03:00 with the climate that corresponds to the weather conditions over a long period and on the planet.
