They need to work on their weather though.

There was first tropical night of the year already at the beginning of June in Oslo.

It isn't about temperature, it's about sunlight. Norway, despite its material wealth and natural beauty, has one of the world's highest suicide rates.

The tilt of the Earth has nothing to do with “the weather” (that you can do something with).

Norway's suicide rate is average. That's Finland you're thinking of.

Today in Oslo:

    sunrise 04:03 
    sunset  22:39
Nights are very short in the Nordics during the summer. There is so much sun you don't know what to do with.

It's the non-summer months that kill you.

Yet people in Nordics live longer and are happier than people in south.

Or are you just so racist that all nordic countries are the same to you?

Just got back from holiday in Norway and chatting to several locals they were under the impression that it was a huge problem. Looking at stats it seems that on an international basis it's it so high though, maybe just relative to other local issues.

The lack of proper nights (even if in the south there was technically a sunset) was really tough for me though, it messed with my sleeping patterns a lot. I can imagine winter being even worse.
