- 30' C in the Sun this morning. One of the coldest days of the year, to be sure. More than a physical experiment, it is a cultural experience: surely wearing so many layers of clothes must be life-long chore for anybody living in this area.

The only thing I have not yet witnessed is the Northern Lights. I am not a great sky watcher when it comes to sky observation, and that probably doesn't increase the chances of seen such beauty. Anyway I try and follow the forecasts as much as possible.
Here are interesting links to check:


These are live glimpses of the sky in Porjus, a village in Swedish Lapland. You can check the links every couple of minutes for update. This is the place where Northern Lights are most frequently seen and are at their best.
Indeed with just a little more than 400 inhabitants, Porjus is a small village, therefore producing little artificial light.
