One of the coldest places right now is Nikkaluokta in Kiruna municipality. When Erik Sarri woke up on Monday morning, his thermometer showed minus 41 degrees. Now he has to flush extra water in the pipes so that they do not freeze - and today's job with the reindeer in the mountains did not work out in the cold. - You have to do other things and be inside these days, says Erik Sarri.
Today, the season's lowest temperature so far was measured, and it was unusually early for these temperatures.
What Erik Sarri finds most striking when the thermometer goes down to minus 40 degrees is the silence that occurs.
- Everything stops.
There are no birds chirping, no wind, no scooters and you can hear no streams - it's just quiet, he says.
See what life is like in the unusual cold - and hear how quiet it gets from the cold in the video.
