Northern winds
The reason is northern winds that bring cold.
The cold is also due to the clear weather, and that there is no cloud cover that would otherwise retain the heat.
- You could compare it with a real blanket that keeps the heat for us.
Now it is instead less clouds and then it automatically gets colder, says meteorologist Maria Augutis.
