Others took evening walks in the city and shared the bright orange scenes on social media. A low-pressure system over northern Africa swept dust over Cyprus several times in mid-April, “darkening skies and reducing air quality,” NASA said Tuesday. Dust was expected to continue to cross the Mediterranean, impacting both Cyprus and Greece over the next several days, NASA said. People cross a snow covered railway in Helsinki, Finland, on April 23, 2024, as an unusual weather system brought trams in the city to a halt. Photos showed Helsinki residents walking through thick snow and ice, carrying umbrellas under heavy snowfall, and tall clusters of snow piled up on sidewalks, cars and scooters.

☆ Finnair starts weighing flying passengers at the gate
  + stars: | 2024-02-08 | by ( Julia Buckley | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —We all know what it’s like to have our baggage weighed at an airport check-in. But now, some brave airline passengers are consenting to being weighed themselves before boarding the plane. In a trial by European carrier Finnair at its Helsinki Airport hub, volunteer passengers are being weighed at the departure gate in order to allow the airline to refine weight estimates for planes before takeoff. Korean Air conducted its own weighing program in 2023, while Air New Zealand also did a weight survey last year. Finnair is collecting data for both winter and summer seasons, since passengers tend to wear heavier clothing and coats during the cold Finnish winters.

☆ Finland is consistently ranked the happiest country on earth. For Finns, it's an eye-roller.

Finland's high levels of social trust could be one reason the country has been ranked as the world's happiest for six years in a row. Finns don't view themselves as exceptionally happy people. A busy street in Helsinki, Finland. In 2021, the Nordic country spent 24% of its GDP on social protection — the highest of any other OECD country that year. 'We have problems as well'As fun as such ratings can be to share and debate, they of course obscure the challenges experienced in any country, even Finland.

☆ Moscow is trying to play it cool, but its military moves hint at growing concern over NATO's newest member
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Finland's admission this month doubles the length of NATO's border with Russia and does so in a region with important Russian military outposts. But Putin's invasion of Ukraine scared not only Finland into joining NATO but also Sweden, which hasn't fought a war since Napoleon was alive. This boosts the alliance's military, political, and economic power considerably and confronts Russia with the prospect of even more NATO forces on its border. There is the possibility of NATO forces and infrastructure being deployed to those countries. Russia's Arctic forces also field an array of powerful weapons, including submarine- and land-based cruise missiles and air-launched hypersonic weapons.
